Karatsu Ware Kintsugi Surgical Stainless Steel Earrings Gray Freshwater Pearl Natural Stone Traditional Craft No.160

These are SDGs jewelry pieces featuring Kintsugi, upcycled from pottery by Hakka Kiln, crafted in Imari City, Saga Prefecture. Broken or chipped pottery, no longer in use, is upcycled and transformed into accessories with Kintsugi. The concept behind these pieces is to evoke a sense of nature and Japan's enduring traditions, reborn as modern accessories that connect to the future, creating new possibilities. Elegant gray pottery fragments are adorned with freshwater pearls. Kintsugi is applied to the sides of the pottery fragments, allowing the gold to shine from every angle and adding a touch of refinement. These pieces are perfect as a stylish accent to both casual and elegant outfits. Length: 12 x 15mm Metal fittings: Surgical stainless steel earrings (fittings cannot be changed) Weight: Though made from pottery fragments, they are lightweight and comfortable to wear. As each piece is a one-of-a-kind accessory, they make ideal gifts. Consider them for a special gift for your loved ones. *The item pictured will be sent. However, if sold on another site, it may be produced to order. Please note that in such cases, there may be individual differences in color, pattern, and size of the pottery fragments and natural stones from those pictured. * "Kintsugi" is a unique Japanese traditional repair method that mends broken or chipped ceramics using lacquer and gold powder. This work is created using a modern, simplified Kintsugi technique. Unlike traditional Kintsugi which uses tree sap from the lacquer tree (hon-urushi), this method uses adhesive for the initial bonding. The Kintsugi portions utilize lacquer (a paint made by a manufacturer, not raw lacquer) and gold powder (brass powder, pearl powder), with UV resin also used 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, Kintsugi Jewelry, Japan Traditional Crafts, Japan Jewelry
