Kyo-yaki Kintsugi Surgical Stainless Steel Earrings Blue Freshwater Pearl Natural Stone Traditional Craftsmanship No.184

These are SDGs jewelry pieces featuring Kintsugi, upcycled from ceramics by Fukui-kama, a potter based in Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture, known for its Kyo-yaki and Kiyomizu-yaki traditions. Cracked or chipped pottery, no longer in use, is reborn as accessories adorned with the art of Kintsugi. The concept behind these creations is to foster a connection with nature and Japan's enduring traditions, transforming them into modern accessories that bridge the past and future, unlocking new possibilities. Elegant blue pottery shards are complemented by delicate, pale pink freshwater pearls. As you move, the freshwater pearls gently sway, bringing a touch of radiant elegance to your ears. The sides of the pottery pieces are enhanced with Kintsugi, allowing the gold to shimmer and add a refined touch even from a side view. These pieces are perfect as a statement accent for both casual and elegant outfits. Length: Pottery shard: 11 x 14mm; Overall length: 27mm Hardware: Surgical stainless steel earrings (Hardware cannot be changed) Weight: These pottery pieces are lightweight and comfortable to wear. As each accessory is one-of-a-kind, it makes for an ideal gift.

This piece utilizes a modern, simplified Kintsugi technique. Unlike traditional Kintsugi using natural lacquer derived from the urushi tree, this process involves adhesive for bonding. The Kintsugi parts use lacquer (a manufactured coating, not raw urushi) and gold powder (brass powder, pearl powder), along with UV resin for reinforcement. --------------------- Gifts, Presents, Pottery Shard Accessories, Arita Ware, Imari Ware, Natural Stone Accessories, One-of-a-Kind Accessories, Presents, 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 Outfit, Kintsugi Jewelry, Japan Traditional Crafts, Japan Jewelry
