Arita ware Kintsugi Ring, Orange Floral Pattern, 14K Gold Plated, Free Size, Freshwater Pearl, Traditional Crafts a14

This is an SDGs-conscious ring featuring Kintsugi, upcycling Arita ware. Broken or chipped ceramics, no longer in use, are repurposed and adorned with Kintsugi to be reborn as accessories. The concept behind these pieces is to allow people to feel closer to nature and Japan's enduring traditions, creating modern accessories that connect to the future and foster new possibilities. Adorable floral Arita ware fragments are paired with freshwater pearls. Kintsugi adorns the sides of the ceramic shards, allowing the gold to catch the light beautifully from every angle, adding an elegant touch. 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 considered a size 7 in US sizing, though this can vary by brand), but it features an adjustable design, allowing it to be expanded for a comfortable fit for anyone. Ceramic fragment and natural stone motif size: 16 x 19mm Metal fittings: Brass with 14K gold plating (hypoallergenic) Weight: Despite being ceramic, it is lightweight and comfortable to wear ◎ As this is a one-of-a-kind accessory, it makes for a perfect gift. Consider it for a special someone. *The item pictured will be sent. However, if it has already been sold on another site, production may be made-to-order. In such cases, please note that there may be individual differences in color, pattern, and size of the ceramic fragments and natural stones compared to the photos. * "Kintsugi" is a traditional Japanese repair technique that uses lacquer and gold powder to mend broken or chipped ceramics. This piece is created using a modern, simplified Kintsugi method. Unlike traditional Kintsugi using natural lacquer from the urushi tree, this technique utilizes adhesive for the primary bonding. For the Kintsugi sections, lacquer-like paint (a manufacturer-created coating, not raw urushi) and gold powder (brass powder, pearl powder) are used, along with UV resin for reinforcement.
