Kyo Ware Kintsugi Screw-Back Earrings | Purple Hand-Painted Design | Iolite Natural Stone | Traditional Craft No. 215

These are SDGs jewelry pieces featuring Kintsugi, upcycled from ceramics created by Fukukikama, a Kyo ware and Kiyomizu ware pottery studio in Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture. Broken or chipped ceramics that are no longer in use are upcycled and reimagined into accessories with Kintsugi. The concept behind these creations is to allow people to feel closer to nature and Japan's enduring traditions, transforming them into modern accessories that connect to the future and unlock new possibilities. Elegant pottery shards, hand-painted with exquisite designs, have been paired with Iolite. The sides of the pottery fragments are finished with Kintsugi, allowing the gold accent to catch the light beautifully from any angle, adding a touch of refined elegance. These pieces are perfect as a unique accent to elevate both casual and elegant outfits. Dimensions: 15 x 20mm Hardware: Screw-back earrings (hardware cannot be changed) Weight: Despite being made of pottery shards, they are lightweight and comfortable to wear. As each piece is a one-of-a-kind creation, they make for ideal gifts. They are also perfect for presenting to your cherished loved ones. *As these are finished, one-of-a-kind items, we are unable to accommodate hardware changes or remake them. *We will ship the item pictured. However, if it has already been sold on another platform, it may be produced 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 pottery using lacquer and gold powder. This piece is created using a modern, simplified Kintsugi technique, which uses adhesive for bonding, unlike traditional Kintsugi that uses natural lacquer derived from the sap of the lacquer tree. The Kintsugi parts use lacquer (a manufacturer-created coating, not raw lacquer) and gold powder (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, Elegantly Cute, SDGs, SDGs Accessories, Mother's Day, Mother's Day Gifts, Small Gifts, Outing Outfits, Kintsugi Jewelry, Kintsugi Jewelry, Japan Traditional Crafts, Japan Jewelry
