The ancient Celtic knotwork and acanthus, a symbol of European ornamentation. Two designs from different eras and cultures intersect on a single silver ring—this is IMULTA's "myth."

On this page, we will delve into the design background of "myth," the interplay of light and shadow created by the artisan's oxidized finish, and why this ring possesses such a unique presence.

The pattern of "myth" appears at first glance to be an intricate tangle of plant vines. However, tracing its structure reveals a precise combination of two entirely different decorative cultures.

The base is Celtic knotwork, an ancient pattern from the Celtic people. Multiple lines intertwine endlessly without breaks, representing "eternity," "connection," and "the cycle of life" since ancient times.

Used as ornamentation on monuments, manuscripts, and weaponry, this pattern continues to captivate people across eras.

Layered upon this is a plant motif originating from acanthus. Acanthus, historically used in Greek and Roman architectural ornamentation—Corinthian capitals and temple sculptures—is a symbolic motif of Western sculpture, embodying both dignity and vitality.

IMULTA uniquely merged these two and meticulously rendered the "myth" pattern from scratch on the ring's surface. It feels familiar yet unlike anything seen before. That is the initial uniqueness of this ring.

After hand-carving the pattern, "myth" undergoes another process: oxidized finish.

By intentionally oxidizing the carved grooves to a black color, the raised patterns are accentuated. The convex areas, exposed to light, shine with silver brilliance, while the concave areas, in shadow, deepen to a rich black—this contrast brings three-dimensionality and depth to the engraving.

The expression of this ring changes with the angle of light. It shines crisply in natural daylight and takes on mysterious shadows in the dim light of night. The name "myth" itself resides in the ever-changing nature of this ring.

Not only the pattern but also the ring's shape reflects the artisan's intention. "myth" has a unique silhouette with a constricted center.

This shape, varying in width from 4.9mm to a maximum of 26.6mm, considers comfort on the finger and is the result of calculating the most beautiful "presentation" for the engraving. Neither too thin nor too heavy—the moment it's placed on the finger, its presence strikes a perfect balance.

"myth" is a ring for those who seek genuine stories in their accessories.

"myth" is a made-to-order item, meticulously handcrafted by artisans after your order. It arrives as a unique piece, embracing the slight individual differences that are characteristic of handmade items, unlike mass-produced goods.

Shipping is estimated within 21 days of your order. It will be delivered in an original IMULTA box, making it a perfect gift for your loved ones.

The "eternal connection" symbolized by Celtic knotwork and the "dignity and vitality" embodied by acanthus. These two are hand-carved by artisans into a single silver ring: "myth."

The interplay of light and shadow created by the oxidized finish constantly changes depending on the viewing angle and lighting. As you use it, the ring will age beautifully, eventually imbued with the wearer's unique history—this is what IMULTA envisions as a "lifelong piece."

If you were to choose just one ring, what kind should it be? "myth" is the artisan's answer to that question.
