These SDGs jewelry pieces feature Kintsugi, upcycled from the ceramics of Fukuyoku-gama, renowned for their Kyo-Yaki/Kiyomizu-Yaki pottery crafted in Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture. Broken or chipped, no-longer-usable ceramics are upcycled and adorned with Kintsugi, transforming them into exquisite accessories. The concept behind these creations is to bring the beauty of nature and Japan's enduring traditions closer to you, breathing new life into them as modern accessories that connect to the future, unlocking new possibilities. Flower motifs adorn ceramic fragments, elegantly paired with freshwater pearls. Kintsugi is applied to the sides of the ceramic pieces, allowing the gold to shimmer beautifully from every angle, adding a touch of refined elegance. The accompanying chain is made from hypoallergenic surgical stainless steel with 18K coating, ensuring resistance to tarnishing and gentleness on the skin, making it suitable for those with sensitivities. The chain measures 40cm with an additional 5cm adjuster. Size of ceramic fragment and natural stone motif: 15 x 12mm Chain: Surgical stainless steel with 18K coating (hypoallergenic) Weight: Despite being ceramic, they are lightweight and comfortable to wear. As each piece is one-of-a-kind, these accessories make for an ideal gift. They are perfect for expressing thoughtful consideration for your loved ones. *You will receive the item pictured. However, if 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 ceramic fragments and natural stones compared to the photographs. *Kintsugi is a traditional Japanese repair technique that mends broken or chipped pottery and ceramics using lacquer and gold powder. This piece utilizes a modern, simplified Kintsugi method. Unlike traditional Kintsugi with natural lacquer derived from the urushi tree, this process involves adhesive for structural integrity. The Kintsugi areas are created using a lacquer-like coating (a manufacturer-produced paint, not raw urushi) and gold powder (or brass/pearl powder), with UV resin also used for reinforcement. --------------------- Gift, Present, Ceramic Fragment Accessory, Arita Ware, Imari Ware, Natural Stone Accessory, One-of-a-Kind Accessory, Gift for Her, Pottery Accessory, Natural Stone, Kintsugi, Kintsugi Accessory, Simplified Kintsugi, Modern Kintsugi, Unique Accessory, Retro, Japanese Modern, Adult Cute, SDGs, SDGs Accessory, Mother's Day, Mother's Day Gift, Small Gift, Outfit Coordination, Kintsugi Jewelry, Japan Traditional Crafts, Japan Jewelry
