LOVE BY e.m. Ribbon Motif Rings

Among the standout items are the armor rings and ear cuffs, designed to envelop the finger or ear like a lace-up corset. These pieces beautifully fuse the brand’s signature playful mechanics with sweet motifs, offering truly original accessories.

Making its debut in the Kansai region is the latest iteration of the popular lace-up armor ring series: a three-ribbon version. The designer’s dedication to realism extends to the intricate details of the lace-up sections, not just the ribbons themselves. The red color variant evokes the luxurious sheen of satin ribbon, offering a chic, ladylike appeal rather than being overly cute.
