{"product_id":"japanese-mask-ring-nimen","title":"Japanese Mask Ring 'Nimen'","description":"\u003ch2\u003eTwo-faced mask ring, a horned demon one side and a gold-marked fox the other\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo masks on one ring, split down the middle. The left half is a horned demon, brow furrowed, mouth open in a grimace; the right half is a fox, ears up, eyes narrow, with gold-toned markings curling over its brow and cheek; the two are joined at the centre line and a flower is carved at the shoulder. The recesses are darkened, and the gold is the only colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is the ring in the collection with the most going on across its face, and the split is the point: the demon and the fox are the two masks of the festival, the one that frightens and the one that tricks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe name, Nimen, is two faces, and the ring has them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ring is stainless steel, cast as one piece about 26 mm high, the recesses darkened, the fox markings gold-toned, the shoulders carved with a flower on one side and scrolls on the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWear it on the index or middle finger of either hand, and on its own. It goes with the black clothes in the range and with the mask pieces elsewhere in the shop, and it is a ring for someone who likes a face with two sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe join is the detail: the demon's horn and the fox's ear rise from the same centre line, and the two mouths meet at the chin, so the ring reads as one face from the front and as two from either side. The gold on the fox is curled like the markings on the paper masks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom across a table it is a silver mask with a gold flash. From close the mask is two, the demon shows its horn, and the fox its gold. It is the ring for someone who cannot decide, and does not have to.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteel does not tarnish, does not turn a finger green and does not mind water, so this ring can be worn in the shower and the sea and wiped dry after. A soft cloth is all the care it needs; the darkened recesses and the gold markings are finishes, and the gold will soften with years of wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSizes are given as the inside circumference in millimetres: 55, 57, 60, 62, 66, 68, 70, 73. Wrap a strip of paper round the finger where the ring will sit, mark where it meets, and measure the strip flat. If you are between two sizes and the ring is wide, take the larger; a wide band needs more room than a thin one.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"YONAKU","offers":[{"title":"55","offer_id":59208026358108,"sku":"200000369:3434;200000783:29#RoseGold","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"57","offer_id":59208026390876,"sku":"200000369:699;200000783:29#RoseGold","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"60","offer_id":59208026423644,"sku":"200000369:350262;200000783:29#RoseGold","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"62","offer_id":59208026456412,"sku":"200000369:1583;200000783:29#RoseGold","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"66","offer_id":59208026489180,"sku":"200000369:100010420;200000783:29#RoseGold","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"68","offer_id":59208026521948,"sku":"200000369:1663;200000783:29#RoseGold","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"70","offer_id":59208026554716,"sku":"200000369:200000296;200000783:29#RoseGold","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"73","offer_id":59208026587484,"sku":"200000369:200000298;200000783:29#RoseGold","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1055\/3386\/6332\/files\/japanese-mask-ring-nimen-1.jpg?v=1790584491","url":"https:\/\/yonaku.com\/products\/japanese-mask-ring-nimen","provider":"YONAKU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
