Old Imari Kintsugi Ring Blue 14K Gold Plated Free Size Freshwater Pearl Pearl Sodalite Natural Stone Traditional Crafts a17

This is an SDGs-conscious ring featuring Kintsugi, upcycled from old Imari porcelain. Broken or chipped ceramic pieces, no longer in use, are given new life through Kintsugi and transformed into accessories. The concept behind this piece is to bring the beauty of nature and Japan's enduring traditions closer to you, reimagining them into modern accessories that connect to the future and unlock new possibilities. The blue Imari ceramic fragment is paired with natural stones of the same hue: sodalite and freshwater pearls. Kintsugi is applied to the sides of the ceramic piece, allowing the gold to elegantly catch the light from every angle, adding a touch of refined sophistication. The metal fittings are made of brass with a 14K gold plating, making them hypoallergenic and resistant to tarnishing, ensuring they can be cherished for a long time. The ring size is 17mm (generally equivalent to a US size 6.5, though this can vary by brand), and it features an adjustable design, allowing it to be expanded for a comfortable fit for anyone. Motif size (ceramic fragment and natural stone): 21 x 21mm Fittings: Brass with 14K gold plating (hypoallergenic) Weight: Despite the ceramic fragment, it is lightweight and comfortable to wear. As this is a one-of-a-kind accessory, it makes for a perfect gift. Consider it as a thoughtful present for your cherished loved ones. *The item pictured will be sent. However, if it has already been sold on another site, it may be made to order. In such cases, please note that there may be individual differences in the color, pattern, and size of the ceramic fragments and natural stones compared to the photos. *Kintsugi is a unique Japanese traditional repair technique that mends broken or chipped pottery using lacquer and gold powder. This piece is created using a modern, simplified Kintsugi technique. Unlike traditional Kintsugi which uses natural lacquer derived from the sap of the lacquer tree, this method utilizes adhesive for the primary bonding. The Kintsugi areas are created using lacquer (a manufactured coating, not raw urushi) and gold powder (brass powder, pearl powder), with UV resin also incorporated for reinforcement.
