Material characteristics

Whisky Wood
Barrels that have matured whisky countless times over decades. Crafted from white oak, known as the “King of Forests”. Beads carved from the timber of these barrels, dismantled after fulfilling their purpose, possess the unique beauty of grain only found in aged wood, along with a rich, robust character and lustre.
Particular attention is paid to the surface finish, preserving the wood's inherent character. With long-term use, a patina develops, evolving into a deep, rich texture reminiscent of whisky's maturation.

Amber
Amber is a gemstone formed when tree resin becomes buried underground and solidifies over long periods. It has been used as an ornament since the Palaeolithic era. Amber is said to absorb negative energy and circulate positive energy. It is also believed to ease tension and promote relaxation.
