Hagi Ware Kintsugi Screw-back Clip-on Earrings, Light Blue, Freshwater Pearl, Natural Stone, Traditional Craftsmanship No.154

These are SDGs-conscious jewelry pieces featuring kintsugi, upcycled from ceramics made by Shounzan Pottery Studio (Shounzan-gama) in Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. Cracked or chipped ceramics, no longer in use, are given new life and transformed into accessories through the art of kintsugi. The concept behind these creations is to foster a connection with nature and Japan's enduring traditions, breathing new possibilities into these materials by reimagining them as modern accessories that look towards the future. These elegant earrings feature serene, light blue pottery shards adorned with freshwater pearls. Kintsugi is applied to the sides of the pottery shards, allowing the gold to beautifully complement the piece even from a profile view, adding a touch of refined elegance. They serve as a perfect accent to elevate both casual and elegant outfits. Length: 15 x 25mm Hardware: Screw-back clip-on earrings (hardware cannot be changed) Weight: Despite being made from pottery shards, they are lightweight and comfortable to wear. As these are one-of-a-kind accessories, each piece is unique. They make for an ideal gift, perfect for presenting to someone special. *The item pictured will be sent. However, if the item has been sold on another platform, 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 pottery shards and natural stones compared to the photograph. * "Kintsugi" is a unique Japanese traditional repair technique that mends broken or chipped pottery and porcelain using lacquer and gold powder. These pieces are created using a modern, simplified kintsugi technique. Unlike traditional kintsugi which uses genuine lacquer derived from the sap of the lacquer tree, this method uses adhesive for the primary bonding. The kintsugi portions utilize lacquer (a manufactured coating, not raw lacquer) and gold powder (or brass powder, pearl powder), with UV resin also incorporated for reinforcement. --------------------- Gifts, Presents, Pottery Shard Accessories, Arita Ware, Imari Ware, Natural Stone Accessories, One-of-a-Kind Accessories, Gifts, Ceramic Accessories, Natural Stones, Kintsugi, Kintsugi Accessories, Simplified Kintsugi, Modern Kintsugi, Unique Accessories, Retro, Japanese Modern, Adult Cute, SDGs, SDGs Accessories, Mother's Day, Mother's Day Gifts, Small Gifts, Outfit Accents, Kintsugi Jewelry, Japan Traditional Crafts, Japan Jewelry
