Oribe Ware Kintsugi Surgical Stainless Steel Earrings, Green, Flower Ball, Dangling, Traditional Craft, No. 430

These SDGs-conscious jewelry pieces feature *kintsugi*, upcycling ceramics from Touhou Fukuoka, a potter based in Kumamoto Prefecture. Broken or chipped pottery, no longer in use, is repurposed and adorned with *kintsugi* to be reborn as accessories. The concept behind these creations is to bring the beauty of nature and Japan's enduring traditions closer to you, transforming them into modern accessories that connect to the future and unlock new possibilities. Deep green pottery shards are paired with elegant floral ball charms. They sway gently with your movement, exuding a refined charm. The sides of the pottery fragments are embellished with *kintsugi*, allowing the gold to catch the light beautifully from all angles, adding a touch of sophistication. These pieces are perfect as a unique accent to both casual and elegant outfits. Length: Pottery shard: 16 x 13mm / Total length: 37mm Metal fittings: Surgical stainless steel ear posts (metal fittings cannot be changed) Weight: Despite being ceramic, they are lightweight and comfortable to wear. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind creation, making it an ideal gift for someone special. *As these are finished, one-of-a-kind items, we cannot accept requests for changes to the metal fittings or for re-creation. We also do not accept custom orders for different specifications using similar pottery shards. *We will send the item pictured. However, if it has already been sold on another platform, it may become a made-to-order item. In such cases, please note that there may be individual differences in color, pattern, and size of the pottery shards and natural stones compared to the photos. *"Kintsugi" is a unique Japanese traditional repair method that mends broken or chipped ceramics using lacquer and gold powder. This piece uses a modern, simplified *kintsugi* technique. Therefore, unlike traditional *kintsugi* made with natural lacquer sap, adhesive is used for the primary bonding. The *kintsugi* portions are created using lacquer (a paint manufactured by a company, not raw lacquer) and gold powder (brass powder, pearl powder), with UV resin also incorporated for reinforcement. --------------------- Gifts, 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, sophisticated and cute, SDGs, SDGs accessories, Mother's Day, Mother's Day gifts, small gifts, outfit accents, kintsugi jewelry, Kintsugi Jewelry, Japan Traditional Crafts, Japan Jewelry
