[Restock] Vibrant Aritayaki Citrine Kintsugi Earrings, Non-pierced Earrings, Natural Stone, Simple, Small, Traditional Craft, Pottery, Ceramic Shards, Gift

Aritayaki ceramic shards, polished and mended with natural citrine using the kintsugi technique. Though small, the golden kintsugi accents create a striking presence. The right piece features a reddish hue, while the left is a colorful pattern with red, white, green, yellow, and blue. Each Aritayaki piece is unique, varying in pattern and color depending on how the ceramic breaks, making it a one-of-a-kind item. Natural citrine boasts a beautiful translucency. .................. ・Aritayaki...Porcelain produced in and around Arita Town, Saga Prefecture. Said to be the first porcelain made in Japan, it has been widely cherished as tableware and crafts for over 400 years. It often features indigo blue underglaze painting or vibrant overglaze enamels, exuding a noble and elegant character. .................. ・Citrine...Prized since ancient times as a stone that attracts wealth and financial luck, bringing prosperity and nobility. It is the birthstone for November. .................. Many imagine ceramic to be heavy, but these earrings weigh approximately 1g each (excluding findings), making them very lightweight to wear. As a truly unique accessory, they make an ideal gift for yourself, for those who appreciate one-of-a-kind items, or for someone special. With their subdued colors and timeless design, they can be enjoyed by people of all ages. While they feature traditional Japanese patterns, when paired with labradorite, they surprisingly lend themselves to everyday wear with t-shirts. They can be styled with blouses, shirts, jackets, and dresses for spring and summer, or with cardigans, knits, turtlenecks, and sweaters for fall and winter. They complement both pants and skirt styles. They are also perfect for presents and gifts for occasions such as birthdays, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Christmas, job promotions, coming-of-age ceremonies, and baby showers. Their modern Japanese aesthetic suits yukatas for fireworks festivals and summer festivals, as well as traditional Japanese attire for events like "Omiyamairi" (baby's first shrine visit), Coming-of-Age ceremonies, pre-wedding photoshoots, weddings, and Shichi-Go-San (a rite of passage for children). Their colors are suitable for all seasons, so we would be delighted if you could enjoy wearing them year-round. .............................. Size: Approx.

After receiving your order, we will attach the findings with adhesive and coat them with resin before shipping. .................. ■ Please read carefully before purchasing. 〈About the Artwork〉 ※ The findings and the base of the kintsugi part are reinforced with UV resin. Please understand that there may be slight resin overflow. ※ Depending on the artwork (e.g., translucent materials like sea glass or natural stones), the findings may be changed to silver. Please rest assured that the material will remain the same. ※ Kintsugi is a traditional Japanese technique that revives ceramics that are chipped, cracked, or broken using lacquer and gold powder. ※ We use new urushi (new lacquer), which is less likely to cause irritation, and gold powder (brass powder), rather than genuine urushi. ※ Natural stones are natural materials, so they may contain impurities, fine scratches, or small chips. Please understand that these are natural characteristics. ※ Please understand that variations in glaze are characteristic of handmade items. In particular, the sides of Mino ware tiles often have uneven glaze. ※ Individual sensitivities to metal, resin, and urushi vary. If you experience any skin irritation, please discontinue use and consult a dermatologist. We are not responsible for any injuries or allergic reactions caused by the product. ※ The actual color may differ slightly from the images depending on your monitor, brightness, and screen environment. 〈Care Instructions〉 ※ Please handle with care, as applying strong force may cause damage. ※ Be cautious as the kintsugi area may come off if rubbed strongly or soaked in water for extended periods. When cleaning, gently wipe away dirt with a soft cloth. ※ Avoid storing in high temperatures, high humidity, or direct sunlight, as this may cause discoloration. 〈Shipping〉 ・ If you require urgent delivery, please contact us before purchasing. ・ Items purchased in the same cart will be shipped together.

We use a simplified kintsugi method for creation, utilizing new urushi (which is less likely to cause allergic reactions than genuine urushi derived from lacquer tree sap) and gold powder (brass powder). UV resin is also used for reinforcement. ※ This is a restock of a popular item. However, as each piece of Aritayaki ceramic shard and natural stone is unique in shape and pattern, the photos show the items used in this particular batch.
