[a-side handmade] S Tassel Scallop Dish | Evil Eye | Jewelry Display Tray

In the East: During Japan's Edo period, scallop shells were adorned with maki-e lacquer and gold leaf. Beautiful shell containers and shells were part of the dowry for the wives of court nobles and feudal lords, symbolizing blessings for marital harmony. In the West: The scallop shell is a symbol of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage. Its radiating patterns resemble rays of light, converging from all directions, symbolizing blessings and protection. Borrowing these auspicious meanings, we use natural scallop shells as our medium. From disinfection, cleaning, sun-drying, and polishing, we apply our exclusive [a-side handmade] patterns using the decoupage technique, finished with over 9 layers of varnish, meticulously crafted over several days. Slightly smaller than the palm of your hand, it's perfect for rings or earrings. The eye motif adds a touch of mystery, and it can also hold small crystals, bringing you positive, stabilizing energy.
