Do you know what a signet ring is?
In Europe, there is a long-standing tradition of passing down signet rings, engraved with family crests or initials, from grandfather to father, and from father to son. Originally created as a seal for documents, this piece of jewelry has been cherished over its long history as a symbol of identity, indicating "who that person is."
While it may still be unfamiliar in Japan, that substantial and imposing form has such a background.
abbinare is a collection that redesigns the signet ring.
"Combining" is the theme of this ring.
Abbinare means "to combine" in Italian.
Its main feature is a design that splits the signet ring in half, allowing you to insert your favorite ring into the space between them.
But that's not the only way to enjoy it.
How would you wear it? 4 ways to enjoy it.
-
Sandwich it for sculptural volume.
Inserting a pearl ring creates a soft expression, while layering a flat ring results in a more modern and architectural silhouette. Simply changing the item you insert reveals a completely different look. The luster of the mirror finish and the stillness of the matte, the contrast between silver and gold — combining textures and colors is also part of the fun. -
Separate the top and bottom, on different fingers.
Actually, this is the most popular way our customers wear it. If you wear the top and bottom rings separately on different fingers, they serve as simple, minimalist signet rings. For those who are not keen on stacking, we recommend trying this way first. -
Half is just right.
Many may feel that Western signet rings are too bulky. However, with the half-sized abbinare, it blends well with delicate hands. Paired with a flat gold ring, it creates a simple yet sophisticated impression. -
Even more compact as a pinky ring.
Abbinare is also available in pinky ring size. The design is exactly the same — the form of a signet ring split in half is replicated in pinky size. You can wear it alone on your pinky for a casual look, or combine it with a regular-sized abbinare on a different finger to create a cohesive layered look on your hand.
Gloss, matte, and gold.
Mirror-finished silver, glamorous gold, and subdued matte finish. By freely combining different colors and textures, a sophisticated contrast is created on your hand.
