Kyo-yaki Kintsugi Screw-back Earrings in Pale Purple with Floral Pattern and Freshwater Pearl, Natural Stone, Traditional Craftsmanship No. 49

These are SDGs jewelry pieces with kintsugi, upcycled from pottery crafted by Fukukikama, a kiln specializing in Kyo-yaki and Kiyomizu-yaki in Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture. Broken or chipped pottery, no longer in use, is upcycled and meticulously repaired with kintsugi to create these accessories. The concept behind these pieces is to evoke a connection to nature and Japan's enduring traditions, transforming them into modern accessories that bridge the past and future, unlocking new possibilities. Pale purple pottery shards, adorned with a floral pattern, are accented with freshwater pearls. As you move, the freshwater pearls gently sway, adding a touch of radiance to your ears. The sides of the pottery shards are embellished with kintsugi, so the gold catches the light even from the side, exuding an air of refined elegance. These accessories are perfect as a stylish accent for both casual and elegant outfits. Length: Pottery shard: 15 x 16mm | Total length: 27mm Metal fittings: Screw-back earrings (Metal fittings cannot be changed) Weight: Despite being made from pottery shards, they are lightweight and comfortable to wear. As each piece is a unique, one-of-a-kind accessory, they make for an ideal gift. They are also perfect as a thoughtful present for someone special. *The item pictured will be sent. However, if sold on another site, it may be produced to order. 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 work utilizes a modern, simplified kintsugi technique. Therefore, unlike traditional kintsugi which uses tree sap from the lacquer tree, adhesive is used for the bonding itself. The kintsugi parts use lacquer (a manufacturer-made paint, not raw lacquer) and gold powder (brass powder, pearl powder), with UV resin also used for reinforcement. --------------------- Gift, Present, Pottery Shard Accessories, Arita Ware, Imari Ware, Natural Stone Accessories, One-of-a-Kind Accessories, Present, Ceramic Accessories, Natural Stone, 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, Outfit Accent, Kintsugi Jewelry, Kintsugi Jewelry, Japan Traditional Crafts, Japan Jewelry
