Kyo-yaki Kintsugi Surgical Stainless Steel Earrings Purple Freshwater Pearl Natural Stone Traditional Crafts No. 110

These are upcycled Kintsugi SDG jewelry pieces made from the exquisite ceramics of Fukukiku-gama, artisans based in Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture, known for their Kyo-yaki and Kiyomizu-yaki pottery. Broken or chipped pottery, no longer in use, is given new life through upcycling and the art of Kintsugi, meticulously transformed into wearable accessories. The concept behind these creations is to foster a connection with nature and Japan's enduring traditions, reimagining them into modern accessories that look towards the future, unlocking new possibilities. Elegant purple ceramic fragments are adorned with freshwater pearls. As you move, the pearls gently sway, bringing a radiant touch to your ears. The sides of the ceramic pieces are finished with Kintsugi, allowing the gold to shimmer from every angle and lending an air of refined sophistication. These pieces serve as a perfect accent for both casual and elegant ensembles. Length: Ceramic fragment: 13 x 25mm; Total length: 37mm 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 unique, one-of-a-kind creation, it makes for an ideal gift. They are also perfect for presenting to someone special. *Please note that while the item pictured will be sent, if it has been sold on another site, it may be made to order. In such cases, please be aware that individual differences in color, pattern, and size may occur with the ceramic fragments and natural stones shown in the photos. *Kintsugi is a unique Japanese traditional repair method that uses lacquer and gold powder to mend broken or chipped ceramics. This work utilizes a modern, simplified Kintsugi technique. Unlike traditional Urushi lacquer derived from the sap of the lacquer tree, this process uses adhesive for the initial bonding. The Kintsugi portion incorporates lacquer (a manufacturer-produced paint, not raw Urushi) and gold powder (brass powder, pearl powder), with UV resin also used for reinforcement. --------------------- Gifts, Presents, Pottery Fragment Accessories, Arita Ware, Imari Ware, Natural Stone Accessories, One-of-a-Kind Accessories, Gifts, Ceramic Accessories, Natural Stones, Kintsugi, Kintsugi Accessories, Simplified Kintsugi, Modern Kintsugi, Unique Accessories, Retro, Japanese Modern, Adult Cute, SDGs, SDGs Accessories, Mother's Day, Mother's Day Gifts, Small Gifts, Outfit Accents, Kintsugi Jewelry, Kintsugi Jewelry, Japan Traditional Crafts, Japan Jewelry
