Statement classics featuring the maison's legacy signature NU icon shaped in the wireframe of the horseshoe - a symbol of luck and fortune for new beginnings.
The NU icon was the first design created to mark the début launch of Maison Mugen's journey as a fine jewellery brand. Inspired from her penchant for puzzles, Ying, the founder, explored the folklores of lucky charms and created a minimalistic wire puzzle piece in the shape of the horseshoe – a symbol of luck that would be apt for the maison’s new beginning.
Uncluttered Functionality
In its literal sense, the name ‘NU’ (pronounced as “new”) was derived from the resemblance of the letters ‘n’ and ‘u’ when the icon is flipped. The NU element explores the notion of uncluttered functionality; the essence of this design focuses on the simplistic latch mechanism that locks the stone bead against the precisely calculated gap of the buckle.
Natural Stone Classics
Hematite is the main stone used in the pieces of the NU collection, with the core range including precious and semi-precious natural stones such as Lapis Lazuli, White Tridacna and Black Onyx. Seasonal collections are released as limited editions that feature unique stone combinations.
Customised pieces are available for selected NU designs, if you wish to have them made with specific stones of your choice, let us know your request through our bespoke services channel.
