This hexagonal shape is called ‘kikko’ in Japanese.

Kikko means turtle’s shell. It is one of the traditional Japanese auspicious designs introduced from China and Korea in ancient times.

It is said that the name “kikko” came about because it literally resembles the pattern of a turtle’s shell.

The kikko pattern is considered to be a auspicious pattern in reference to the fact that turtles live a very long life.

We make a variety of custom-made jewelry, but there are not many opportunities for us to make four pieces at the same time.

That is why we wanted to make them in a continuous form so that they would feel a family bond even when they are used separately.

The Japanese engravings are hand-carved one by one by Japanese engraver.

The simple regular hexagonal shape enhances the beauty of the sharply shining letters, resulting in an easy-to-use tie tack.
