Kyo Ware Kintsugi Ring, 14K Gold Plated, Free Size, Floral Pattern, Apatite, Green Rutilated Quartz, Natural Stone, Traditional Crafts, No. 66

This is an SDGs ring with Kintsugi, upcycled from ceramics by Fukukikama, a potter in Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture. Broken or chipped pottery that would otherwise be discarded is upcycled and transformed into jewelry with Kintsugi. The concept behind these pieces is to bring the beauty of nature and Japan's enduring traditions closer to everyday life, creating modern accessories that connect to the future and foster new possibilities. Flower-patterned Kyo ware fragments are paired with Apatite and Green Rutilated Quartz. Kintsugi is applied to the sides of the pottery fragments, allowing the gold to shimmer beautifully from every angle, adding a touch of refined elegance. The metal fittings are made of brass with 14K gold plating, making them allergy-friendly, resistant to tarnishing, and durable for long-term wear. The ring size is 17mm (generally equivalent to a US size 7, though this can vary by brand). It features an adjustable design, allowing you to expand the size, making it suitable for anyone to wear. Motif size (pottery fragment & natural stone): 15 x 18mm Metal fittings: Brass with 14K gold plating (allergy-friendly) Weight: Despite being made of pottery fragments, it is lightweight and comfortable to wear.◎ This is a unique, one-of-a-kind accessory, making it an ideal gift. It would also be a thoughtful present for someone special. *You will receive the item pictured. However, if it has already been sold on another platform, it may be made to order. In such cases, please note that there may be individual differences in the color, pattern, and size of the pottery fragments and natural stones compared to the photos. * "Kintsugi" is a traditional Japanese repair technique that uses lacquer and gold powder to mend broken or chipped ceramics. This piece is created using a modern, simplified Kintsugi method. Unlike traditional mending with natural urushi lacquer derived from the sap of the lacquer tree, this method uses adhesive for the primary bonding. The Kintsugi parts are made with lacquer (a manufacturer-created paint, not raw urushi) and gold powder (brass powder, pearl powder), with UV resin also used for reinforcement. --------------------- Gift, Present, Pottery Fragment Accessory, Arita Ware, Imari Ware, Natural Stone Accessory, One-of-a-kind Accessory, Gift, Ceramic Accessory, Natural Stone, Kintsugi, Kintsugi Accessory, Simplified Kintsugi, Modern Kintsugi, Unique Accessory, Retro, Japanese Modern, Adult Cute, SDGs, SDGs Accessory, Mother's Day, Mother's Day Gift, Small Gift, Outfit Coordination, Kintsugi Jewelry, Kintsugi Jewelry, Japan Traditional Crafts, Japan Jewelry
