【NORTH WORKS】Arrow Ring BR-6002W

"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, simply stamped with an arrow, 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.

"Simple Stampwork Design"

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. At the center of this piece is stampwork that resembles the sun or a star, with radiating lines extending outward. This symbol is considered a representation of energy and hope, and is regarded as a highly important motif among Native American peoples.

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.
