Flexibility created by craftsmanship

Made using artisanal casting techniques from Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture.

On first glance, this looks like a sharp strip of metal.

But if you roll it up as if wrapping a sheet of paper, it will gradually start to fit the wrist and the finger, with a range of nuances possible—from natural to exuberant.

"TIN BREATH", tin accessories

Tin Breath is a series of accessories with a name that compares the unique pliability of tin to the act of breathing.

It is also recommended to combine it with bracelet 40mm, bracelet 20mm, rings, and earrings.

Products in the range pair well with rings, earrings, and other items of jewelry. Enjoy a variety of styles—try changing the way the bracelet is twisted to suit the day’s mood.

Product Features

Soft, bendable, and shape-changing
Tin is soft and can be easily bent and reshaped to adjust its size. The great advantage is that you can adjust it as you like to fit your own ears.
99.99% pure tin
Casting tin is a process where craftsmen's skills shine; melting and solidifying 99.99% pure tin into a thin bangle requires extremely high skills.

Each piece is produced by hand by skilled craftsmen of world-class skills.
Different textures on the front and back
The high purity tin surface has the texture of Echizen washi paper, a craft with approximately 1,500 years of heritage. And the reverse side recreates watercolor paper used in Italy for over seven centuries.

How to care for TIN BREATH

1. Wipe with a soft cloth
After use, wipe gently with a soft cloth to remove any dirt or fingerprints. A microfiber cloth is effective for this purpose.
2. Dry well after washing with water
Wash the product lightly with water if necessary, and then wipe it dry with a soft cloth immediately afterwards. If detergent is used, be sure to use a neutral detergent. After washing, wipe thoroughly and dry completely in a well-ventilated place. Thorough drying is necessary because residual moisture can cause discoloration and rust.
3. Avoid abrasives
Tin is a soft metal, so avoid polishing with cleansers, metal scrubbers, or steel wool. Scratches may degrade the tin's unique texture. A non-abrasive cleaning cloth is recommended for cleaning.
4. Avoid acidic and alkaline substances
Tin is sensitive to acidic and alkaline substances. Sweat, perfume, cosmetics, etc. adhering to tin can cause discoloration and corrosion. It is always recommended to wipe them off carefully after use.
5. Storage
Ideally, tin should be stored away from moisture and direct sunlight. Prevent scratches by placing the jewelry in a jewelry box or cloth pouch to prevent it from coming into contact with other hard objects. Also, place a desiccant next to it to protect it from moisture.
6. What to do if the luster becomes dull
If the luster has become dull, dissolve baking soda in water to make a paste and polish gently with a soft cloth. Afterwards, rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and dry completely.
7. For long use
Tin jewelry will last longer if it is maintained regularly. About once a month, wipe with a soft cloth, rinse with water and dry. If you begin to notice discoloration or stains, take care of it immediately to keep the item looking beautiful at all times.

Q&A

Can TIN BREATH products be shipped overseas?

Yes, we do offer international shipping. *Please note, however, that we do not offer the replacement service for orders from overseas.

What are they made of?

They're made of tin. The gold ones are gold-plated over tin.

My product broke during use.

Tin is a soft metal and may break due to metal fatigue, depending on the environment of use. If the product breaks, we will replace it for a fee, so please contact us from the Contact Us page. *However, please note that we do not offer replacement services for orders from overseas.

How is tin different from other metals?

Compared to other metals, tin is very soft, does not oxidize easily, does not rust easily, does not cause metal allergies, and has a unique luster.

Are they metal allergy-safe?

Tin is generally known as a material that does not cause metal allergies. But if you have a metal allergy, do not wear it to prevent you from skin problems.

Is the TIN BREATH series only for accessories?

Yes, the TIN BREATH series that we carry are only bracelets (40mm and 20mm), rings, and earrings. There is another series of accessories by the same manufacturer, Ordi bibelot, but instead of tin, it is made of surgical stainless steel, which is a less allergenic material. There are also sake cups, plates, cutlery rests, and other items in the same Ordi series made of 99.99% tin.
