Shigaraki Pottery Clay Kintsugi Screw-Back Earrings Brown Dalmatian Jasper Natural Stone Traditional Craft No.253

These are SDGs year-round accessories featuring kintsugi, upcycled from ceramics by Yoshiko Koike, a potter based in Habikino City, Osaka Prefecture. Ms. Koike sources her clay from Shigaraki, making it Shigaraki pottery clay. Soft brown pottery fragments are paired with casual, dotted Dalmatian Jasper natural stones. Kintsugi is applied to the sides of the pottery fragments, allowing the gold to shine through from the side and adding a touch of elegance. These pieces are perfect as a focal point for both casual and elegant outfits. Length: 13 x 28mm Metal fittings: Screw-back earrings (metal fittings cannot be changed) Weight: Despite being pottery fragments, they are lightweight and comfortable to wear. As each piece is a one-of-a-kind creation, they make ideal gifts. They are also perfect for presenting to someone special. *As these are finished, one-of-a-kind items, we cannot accept requests for changes to the metal fittings or for re-production. *We will send the item shown in the photo. However, if it has already been sold on another site, 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 fragments and natural stones compared to the photo. *"Kintsugi" is a traditional Japanese repair method that mends broken or chipped ceramics using lacquer and gold powder. This work uses a modern, simplified kintsugi technique. Unlike traditional urushi lacquer made from tree sap, this method uses adhesive for the primary bonding. The kintsugi parts are created using urushi (a commercially produced coating, not raw urushi) and gold powder (brass powder, pearl powder), with UV resin also used for reinforcement. --------------------- Gifts, Presents, Pottery Fragment 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, Adult Cute, SDGs, SDGs Accessories, Mother's Day, Mother's Day Gift, Small Gift, Outing Coordination, Kintsugi Jewelry, Japan Traditional Crafts, Japan Jewelry
