For the Couple Becoming Ohana (Family)


Lilo, a lonely girl living with her older sister in Kauai, Hawaii, after losing her parents, and Stitch, an alien who doesn't know love, created through genetic experiments, end up living together by chance. However, Stitch, unable to understand Lilo's affection, constantly causes trouble. This is a heartwarming story of how the two gradually open their hearts to each other, eventually becoming true ohana (family) who care for one another.──The new addition to JAM HOME MADE's bridal series is the "Stitch Heritage Ring." Inspired by the popular Disney film "Lilo & Stitch," it expresses the "mutual care" and "eternal bond" depicted in the story through Hawaiian jewelry, representative of Hawaii, the story's setting.




Hawaiian jewelry is said to have originated in the 19th century with a bracelet gifted by Liliuokalani, the last queen of the Hawaiian Kingdom, to her British tutor, engraved with "Aloha O`e (I give you my love)." In this context, it is formally known as "Hawaiian heirloom jewelry," passed down from parent to child, child to grandchild, or to a loved one, like a protective charm, along with cherished memories. Furthermore, it is believed that jewelry engraved with sacred Hawaiian motifs possesses the power to "draw hearts closer and convey feelings."

Not only the motif but also the shape holds meaning. The gentle arch, barrel-like shape of the "Stitch Heritage Ring" signifies the nurturing of gratitude and love. The ring's warm yellow gold hue, rounded silhouette, and moderate volume create a gentle, natural impression, bringing a sense of calm just by looking at it. The subtle blue star mark on the inside of the ring, inspired by Stitch, feels like a romantic secret shared only by the two.

As symbolized by Lilo's iconic line, "Stitch is family (ohana). If we're family, we'll always be together," the "Stitch Heritage Ring" will warmly watch over the bond of the two who are about to become ohana (family) and promise eternity.

The Ultimate Bridal Ring: "Seamless"

The "Black Bridal" series, the main line of JAM HOME MADE's bridal collection, features cool and simple designs characteristic of the brand, with each piece embodying a unique concept and incorporating black diamonds. An example is the "CUTLESS MARIAGE RING," which forms a perfect, "seamless" circle.

"Shouldn't a bridal ring, meant to symbolize a lifelong commitment, have no 'seam'?"──With this thought, the "CUTLESS MARIAGE RING" was finally realized after much trial and error. It is crafted through a special process, distinct from the two common methods used in ring making:──"Casting," where metal is melted and poured into a mold to cool and solidify, and "forging," where metal is shaped by hammering.

First, a highly durable metal is forged into a bar and then pressed into a plate. This process increases the internal density, enhancing its strength. The resulting plate is then die-cut into a washer shape, which is then curved into a ring using a press machine and polished with industrial diamonds to finish.




This creates a perfect ring with exceptional strength and absolutely no seams. JAM HOME MADE presents this ultimate bridal ring, overcoming the impossible for couples who pledge an unending love.

To celebrate the launch of the new "Stitch Heritage Ring," a bridal fair featuring the entire series will be held at select stores nationwide starting Saturday, March 5th. We encourage you to experience JAM HOME MADE's bridal series firsthand during this opportunity. You are sure to find a ring that perfectly suits your story.
