These are SDGs jewelry pieces featuring kintsugi, upcycled from ceramics crafted by Fukukikama kiln, a Kyoto-based maker of Kyo-yaki and Kiyomizu-yaki pottery. Broken or chipped ceramics, no longer in use, are upcycled and transformed into accessories with kintsugi. The concept behind these pieces is to bring the wearer closer to nature and Japan's enduring traditions, creating modern accessories that connect to the future and unlock new possibilities. Pink floral-painted pottery shards are accented with pale orange freshwater pearls. As you walk, the freshwater pearls gently sway, adding a vibrant flourish to your ears. The sides of the pottery shards are adorned with kintsugi, so the gold gleams beautifully from any angle, exuding an air of refined elegance. These pieces make a perfect accent for both casual and elegant outfits. Length: Pottery shard: 17 x 15mm | Total length: 30mm Metal fittings: Surgical stainless steel earrings (metal fittings cannot be changed) Weight: Although made from pottery shards, they are lightweight and comfortable to wear.

This work utilizes a modern, simplified kintsugi technique. Instead of using genuine lacquer derived from the sap of the lacquer tree, adhesive is used for the primary bonding. The kintsugi part uses lacquer (a commercially produced paint, not raw lacquer) and gold powder (brass powder, pearl powder), with UV resin also incorporated for reinforcement. --------------------- Gift, Present, Pottery Shard Accessories, Arita Ware, Imari Ware, Natural Stone Accessories, One-of-a-Kind Accessories, Ceramic Accessories, Natural Stones, Kintsugi, Kintsugi Accessories, Simplified Kintsugi, Modern Kintsugi, Unique Accessories, Retro, Japanese Modern, Mature Cute, SDGs, SDGs Accessories, Mother's Day, Mother's Day Gift, Small Gift, Outfit Accent, Kintsugi Jewelry, Kintsugi Jewelry, Japan Traditional Crafts, Japan Jewelry
