Kintsugi is applied to the sides of the pottery fragments, allowing the gold to gleam beautifully from all angles and adding a touch of refined elegance. They are perfect as a stylish accent for both casual and elegant outfits.

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 unique Japanese traditional repair method that mends broken or chipped ceramics using lacquer and gold powder. This work uses a modern, simplified kintsugi technique. Unlike traditional kintsugi using natural lacquer derived from the sap of the lacquer tree, this method uses adhesive for the initial bond. The kintsugi areas utilize lacquer (a commercial paint, not raw urushi) and gold powder (brass powder, pearl powder), with UV resin also incorporated for reinforcement. --------------------- Gift, Present, Pottery Fragment 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, Japanese Modern, Adult Cute, SDGs, SDGs Accessory, Mother's Day, Mother's Day Gift, Small Gift, Outfit Accent, Kintsugi Jewelry, Japan Traditional Crafts, Japan Jewelry
