Kyo Ware Kintsugi Surgical Stainless Steel Earrings Grey White Freshwater Pearl Natural Stone Traditional Craftsmanship No.161

These SDGs-conscious kintsugi jewelry pieces are upcycled from ceramics by Fukuikama, a Kyoto-based pottery studio known for Kyo ware and Kiyomizu ware. Cracked or chipped ceramic items, no longer in use, are revitalized with kintsugi and transformed into accessories. The concept behind these pieces is to bring the beauty of nature and Japan's enduring traditions closer to you, reborn as modern accessories that connect to the future and unlock new possibilities. Elegant grey and white ceramic fragments are adorned with freshwater pearls. Kintsugi embellishes the sides of the ceramic pieces, allowing the gold accents to shine beautifully from any angle and adding a touch of sophistication. These accessories are perfect as a subtle accent for both casual and elegant outfits. Length: 13 x 15mm Hardware: Surgical stainless steel earrings (hardware cannot be changed) Weight: Despite being ceramic, they are lightweight and comfortable to wear. As each piece is a one-of-a-kind creation, they make for ideal gifts. Consider them for a special present for your loved ones. *Please note that while we will send the item pictured, if it has already been sold on another platform, it may be made to order. In such cases, please be aware of individual differences in color, pattern, and size of the ceramic fragments and natural stones from the photos. *"Kintsugi" is a unique Japanese traditional repair method that mends broken or chipped pottery using lacquer and gold powder. This work utilizes a modern, simplified kintsugi technique. Unlike traditional kintsugi with natural lacquer derived from the urushi tree, this process uses adhesive for bonding. The kintsugi portions are created using urushi (a manufactured coating, not raw urushi lacquer) and gold powder (brass powder, pearl powder), with UV resin also incorporated for reinforcement. --------------------- Gift, Present, Ceramic Fragment Accessory, Arita Ware, Imari Ware, Natural Stone Accessory, One-of-a-Kind Accessory, Gift, Pottery Accessory, Natural Stone, Kintsugi, Kintsugi Accessory, Simplified Kintsugi, Modern Kintsugi, Unique Accessory, Retro, Japanese Modern, Mature & Cute, SDGs, SDGs Accessory, Mother's Day, Mother's Day Gift, Small Gift, Outfit Accent, Kintsugi Jewelry, Kintsugi Jewelry, Japan Traditional Crafts, Japan Jewelry
