Mizuhiki Necklace – Aioi Knot / Gold

A necklace crafted from hand-tied mizuhiki in shimmering gold, made by Onishi Mizuhiki in Shikokuchuo City, Ehime Prefecture, a renowned home of Japanese mizuhiki craft.

A traditional craft, made to wear

In Japan, mizuhiki cords have long been tied into knots to decorate gifts and mark celebrations, with each knot shape expressing a particular wish. Onishi Mizuhiki carries this tradition into the present, turning these meaningful knots into accessories you can wear close to you every day.

The aioi knot: a wish for a life shared

The pendant is formed in aioi-musubi, a circular knot created by crossing and weaving the cords around one another in a continuous loop. Its name expresses the wish "to live together, until we grow old together." With no clear beginning or end, the interlaced cords become a gentle symbol of companionship that lasts a lifetime.

All in gold

Tied entirely in gold cords, the knot catches the light with a soft, warm glow, while its woven texture keeps it from feeling too formal. It hangs from a fine gold-tone chain and layers easily into everyday outfits. Worn with a simple T-shirt or knitwear, it adds a quiet touch of brightness; for celebrations, it brings a festive, auspicious feel that suits the occasion.

Between everyday and special days

The necklace is part of A/P, Onishi Mizuhiki's accessory line inspired by hare and ke, the Japanese idea of moving between festive occasions and ordinary days. Modest in size and simple in form, it is designed to be worn freely, not saved only for special moments.

A gift with meaning

Carrying a wish to share the years ahead, this necklace makes a thoughtful gift for a partner, a wedding or anniversary, or a dear friend you hope to grow old alongside.

Handmade, one by one

Every knot is tied by hand, so each pendant has its own subtle character. It comes in a clear case, ready to give.
