Kyo Ware Kintsugi Screw-back Earrings | Grey, White, Howlite | Dangle, Natural Stone | Traditional Craftsmanship | No.235

These are SDGs-conscious jewelry pieces featuring kintsugi, upcycled from ceramics made by Fukui-kama, a Kyo ware/Kiyomizu ware kiln in Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture. Broken or chipped ceramic pieces, once destined for disposal, are given new life through kintsugi and fashioned into accessories. The concept behind these creations is to foster a connection with nature and Japan's enduring traditions, reimagining them into modern accessories that bridge the past and future, unlocking new possibilities. Elegant grey and white pottery shards are paired with howlite components. Kintsugi is applied to the sides of the pottery fragments, allowing the gold to shine through and adding a touch of refined beauty even when viewed from the side. These pieces gently sway with movement, bringing a radiant flourish to your ears. They serve as a perfect accent piece for both casual and elegant outfits. Length: Pottery shard: 11 x 18mm | Total length: 33mm Metal fittings: Screw-back earrings (Fittings cannot be changed) Weight: Although made from pottery shards, they are lightweight and comfortable to wear.◎ As each piece is a one-of-a-kind creation, it makes for an ideal gift. They are also perfect as a thoughtful present for someone special. *As these are finished, one-of-a-kind items, we cannot accommodate requests for changes to the metal fittings or for reorders. *We will ship the item pictured. However, if it has already 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 photos. *Kintsugi is a traditional Japanese repair technique that uses lacquer and gold powder to mend broken or chipped ceramics. This piece utilizes a modern, simplified kintsugi method. Unlike traditional kintsugi which uses pure lacquer derived from the lacquer tree, this technique involves adhesive for the primary bonding. The kintsugi areas are crafted using lacquer (a manufactured coating, not raw lacquer) and gold powder (brass powder, pearl powder), with UV resin also used for reinforcement. --------------------- Gift, Present, Pottery Shard Accessory, Arita ware, Imari ware, Natural Stone Accessory, One-of-a-kind Accessory, Gift, Ceramic Accessory, Natural Stone, Kintsugi, Kintsugi Accessory, Simplified Kintsugi, Modern Kintsugi, Unique Accessory, Retro, Wago-modern, Mature Cute, SDGs, SDGs Accessory, Mother's Day, Mother's Day Gift, Small Gift, Outfit Accent, Kintsugi Jewelry, Japan Traditional Crafts, Japan Jewelry
