Lano Tallow Tree Brass Ring [LN-1287] by Tomoaki Hirano, Handmade Accessory Artist, Brand Ring

With motifs such as flowers that adorn a tranquil landscape, rosaries and arabesques that evoke medieval Europe, the accessories are delicate and beautifully designed, while also having a strong presence.

Tomoaki Hirano and Mio Hirano, who run the accessory brand "Lano," use mainly natural stones and brass to carefully handcraft each and every elegant and warm accessory.

After graduating from technical high school, Tomoaki Hirano, the representative of "Lano", worked for a shipbuilding company for about eight years as a lathe operator, acquiring knowledge and skills in metal processing, before moving into the fashion industry. He taught himself metal engraving techniques and gained experience as an accessory designer together with Mio Hirano, before starting his own brand, "Lano", in 2008.

Hirano Tomoaki may have a seemingly unusual background as an accessory designer, but the solid metalworking techniques he developed during his time at a shipyard are incorporated into every aspect of his work. In particular, his handmade watches combine delicate, beautiful designs like jewelry with high processing precision that ensures water resistance for everyday use.

The brass accessories, which are gentle on the skin, change to a tasteful color tone the more you use them, giving the feeling that they are living together. Each "Lano" accessory has a strong presence, but there is also a sense of unity that evokes the world of flowers and plants that coexist, and one of their characteristics is that they can be easily layered.

The elegant, delicate, yet profound world depicted by "Lano" - why not try wearing it yourself?

This brass ring features a motif of Chinese tallow tree branches and white berries.
The design features branches wrapped around the finger, with the white fruit motif serving as an accent.
It is characterized by its appearance, which seems to have been copied from nature.

The Chinese tallow tree is a familiar tree that can often be seen lining streets and in parks, and the white berries that grow on the ends of its branches from autumn to winter provide food for birds.
The white color of the fruit is the result of the waxy layer that encases the seeds being exposed, and its matte white texture and the small, lined-up appearance are the unique charms of the Chinese tallow tree.

The fruit part of the motif is painted in a matte natural color over the brass, so that the texture will gradually change over time.

The branches of the ring have been given an antique finish, giving them a subdued color.
The shadows created by the unevenness give the branches a more three-dimensional appearance.

The arms of the ring are delicately designed to resemble overlapping branches, giving the impression that you are wearing a small branch directly on your finger.

The Chinese tallow tree ring has a striking contrast between the shape of the branches and the white fruit, and has a quiet presence without being too flashy.
Even if you place it quietly in the forest, it will blend in as if it were there.

Its understated appearance allows it to blend naturally into your everyday outfits.
It goes well with clothing made from natural materials such as linen and cotton, as well as simple shirts and knitwear, and adds a subtle accent to your hands.
The white fruit stands out softly when paired with a muted color scheme.

This ring is recommended for those who like plant motifs, those who want to wear something that evokes nature, and those looking for a modest yet unique accessory.

Lano's works are carefully crafted down to the smallest details and textures, and each one has a high level of perfection.
Another attractive feature is that the unique aging process of brass allows the piece to develop a deeper appearance and a unique texture over time.
This is a ring that we recommend as a piece you can enjoy wearing for a long time and change over time.

Not only can you use it for yourself, but it also makes a great gift for birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, White Day, Mother's Day, etc.
