【NORTH WORKS】Crossed Arrow Ring BR-6001W

"NORTH WORKS × BARNS OUTFITTERS special collaboration items"

The city of Fussa in Tokyo, about 40 km from the center of the city, has a somewhat American atmosphere, partly due to the Yokota Air Base. NORTH WORKS is a workshop and atelier in a renovated U.S. military house, where they continue to create products with unchanging value based on basic designs. Each item is made by hand, so each piece has a slightly different face, which becomes the flavor of the item. This ring, featuring a striking cross-arrow stamp, is part of a special collaborative Indian Jewelry series commissioned by BARNS OUTFITTERS. This series pays respect to the various Native American tribes and silversmiths who have been a central influence on the brand since its beginning.

"A ring featuring distinctive cross-arrow stampwork"

In Native American life, arrows were essential tools used for hunting and battle. As a motif, the arrow is believed to serve as a protective charm that wards off evil when worn as jewelry. The two arrows crossed at the center symbolize unity among tribes and people, and are also known as “arrows of friendship,” representing a bond of friendship.

The inside is stamped with the logos of both BARNS OUTFITTERS and NORTH WORKS. Each stamp is applied by hand, resulting in a one-of-a-kind finish unique to every piece.
