Géodésique Co., Ltd. (HQ: Setagaya, Tokyo; CEO: Keita Furusawa), the developer of the Parisian jewelry brand 'Géodésique,' will open 'toaruɘ,' an accompaniment-type bridal salon, in Nakameguro on Saturday, May 9, 2026. This store proposes a new set of values, revising the common sense that wedding rings are 'something to be worn in the same shape for a lifetime.' It offers choices such as changing the shape of the ring according to childbirth, childcare, and lifestyle changes, allowing customers to pass them on or keep them without letting go.
Beyond just selling engagement and wedding rings, this salon handles all aspects of wedding preparation, including commemorative gifts for parents and watches/jewelry accessories. It provides a wide variety of jewelry services tailored to women's life stages in a single salon, from resizing after childbirth to remaking into baby rings, redesigning, and trade-ins. The biggest feature is the 'accompaniment' mechanism, which allows customers to continue visiting at every milestone in their lives, rather than ending the relationship at the point of 'purchase.'
【toaruɘ: A New Bridal Salon That Accompanies Women's Life Stages】
According to a survey conducted by the company in February 2026 (targeting 1,000 unmarried and married women in their 20s to 50s living in the Kanto region), while 57.0% of unmarried women believe 'wedding rings are necessary,' about 45% of married women do not wear them daily. The main reasons included 'difficult to wear during childbirth and childcare' and 'size no longer fits due to body changes.'
Furthermore, about half of the women not wearing their rings responded that they 'do not want to let go of them.' This reveals the 'dilemma of dormant rings'—precious mementos that cannot be used—is a poignant reality for many women.
'toaruɘ' was born to respond to these social issues. Instead of leaving rings 'dormant,' it breathes new meaning and life into them through remaking into baby rings or free redesign. Jewelry changes along with life changes, offering a new form of bridal experience beyond just buying.
【Features of the Bridal Salon 'toaruɘ'】
1. 'Wedding Ring Until Childbirth' Plan — A new purchase style based on a fresh concept.
Breaking the common sense of 'wearing the same shape forever,' this plan introduces a stage-based purchase style. It supports interest-free installments and offers limited-time plans based on pregnancy and childbirth, proposing a new choice for women hesitant to buy rings because they 'won't be able to wear them eventually.'
2. Remaking into Baby Rings — Commemorative jewelry connecting mother to child.
A service to transform the vow embedded in the ring into commemorative jewelry for the baby. The proof of marriage becomes a gift celebrating a new life, spinning a moving story across generations from a single ring.
3. Trade-in and Redesign — Experience 'changing into your own style' rather than 'storing away.'
Beyond simple trade-ins, the salon allows redesigning into preferred jewelry such as necklaces or pendants. The idea of 'changing shape and walking together' is a new concept in the bridal jewelry industry. Design flexibility and craftsmanship are key differentiators.
4. Adoption of Lab-Grown Diamonds — Ethical & sustainable jewelry choices.
While having the same brilliance and quality as natural diamonds, the price is about 30-50% less. They are supported by generations who value SDGs as ethical jewelry that can be chosen without worrying about environmental impact or human rights issues.
5. Long-term Accompaniment Salon — A life-accompanying jewelry experience.
Forming a closed salon community where customers can easily consult even after purchase. We support customers through jewelry at milestones like childbirth, childcare, and career changes, answering requests like 'I can't wear it anymore' or 'I want to wear it again.'
【Origin of the Store Name】
'toaruɘ' carries a message from the brand that there is necessity in things. By combining 'toaru' (meaning certain or accidental) with '∃' (the existence symbol in mathematical logic), it is named after the idea that even things and events that appear accidental at first glance have a necessary meaning.
