Kintsugi pin brooch - broken plate pin brooch - Japanese tradition

“KINTSUGI” is an ode to an old Japanese art of repairing broken crockery with gold. Size: Approximately 18mm Material: Silver/Gold Mix (Britannia Silver 958 base with 23K Gold Vermeil), Matte finish As our pieces are handmade, please understand that slight variations to the texture may occur. In the spirit of Kintsugi, the gold lines vary from piece to piece. This piece is crafted in Britannia Silver 958, a non-allergenic high purity silver which retains its bright color (unlike sterling silver which tarnishes easily). We provide a small zip lock bag in which we recommend to store your piece/s to keep them away from the air. This will help to keep them bright for a long time. ------------ We are a small, family run business from Japan, established since 1972. We hand craft unique, original pieces for fun people in our workshop/store in Ginza Tokyo. Come visit our store if you're in lovely Tokyo. Thank you for looking!
