A type of ceramic produced in and around Arita Town, Saga Prefecture. It is said to be the first porcelain ever made in Japan, and has been cherished for over 400 years as tableware and crafts. Its characteristic pure white, once praised by European aristocracy as "white gold," is truly exquisite. Often seen with indigo blue underglaze or vivid painted designs, it exudes a dignified and elegant presence. .................. ・Sardonyx... Characterized by its distinctive orange and red banding. Each stone possesses a unique expression. The name derives from the combination of "sard" (referring to red or brown) and "onyx" (agate). This stone is mentioned in many historical records and is known to symbolize marital happiness and good fortune in marriage. In Japan, it is said that the colossal sacred object enshrined at Izumo Taisha, famous for matchmaking, is made of Sardonyx. ・Golden Rutilated Quartz... Believed to enhance intuition and judgment regarding wealth, guiding you towards success. .................. Weighing approximately 1g per earring (excluding the metal finding), they offer an exceptionally lightweight and comfortable feel.

Please understand that these are natural variations. ※ Please understand that variations in glaze are characteristic of handmade items.
