The Shogun Ring

This ring from our Classic Series named "Shogun" features a sophisticated inlay crafted from authentic samurai sword fragments, meticulously layered over a finely ground base of volcanic ash sourced from Iwo Jima and a blend of Black Tourmaline, pure diamond dust and Shungite dust. The combination creates a stunning depth effect, enhancing the beauty and shine of the sword fragments. Perfect for those who appreciate subtle yet striking jewelry, this piece captures a rich heritage while offering a unique aesthetic.
 
Origin: These cut pieces of Japanese swords date back to the late Edo to Meiji era, or around the mid 1800's to early 1900's. Japan had just come out of a two and a half century long period of isolation, and was quickly modernizing to compete on the world stage. Though the samurai class was practically abolished in the 1870's, swords remained an important part of Japanese society. Historically, samurai would carry at least two swords: the katana, a longsword, and the wakizashi, a shortsword.
