Zougan Inlay Japanese Style Damascus Metal Inlay Craft Gold Inlaid Flower Showa Clip-on Earrings

"Vintage Zougan Inlay Japanese Style Damascus Metal Inlay Craft Gold Inlaid Flower Showa Clip-on Earrings With Box - Japanese "Zougan" (象嵌) is a traditional craft technique that involves embedding fine pieces of different materials into wood or other substrates to create intricate patterns and decorations. This technique originated in ancient Japan and plays a significant role in traditional Japanese craftsmanship. In Japanese inlay work, common substrates are woods such as maple, cedar, and teak. The embedded pieces are typically made of various metals, including brass, silver, and copper. These metal pieces are shaped into small forms and then precisely inlaid into the grooves of the substrate using expert techniques, forming delicate patterns and designs. Japanese inlay craftsmanship places great emphasis on detail and exquisite artistry. Artisans use small knives and tools to shape the metal pieces into the desired forms and sizes, meticulously placing them into the substrate's grooves. This requires exceptional skill and patience to ensure the perfect placement and fit of each piece. The patterns and motifs in Zougan often include flowers, animals, landscapes, traditional patterns, and scenes from stories. These designs, set against the brilliant luster of the metal pieces and the natural wood grain of the substrate, exhibit a unique aesthetic appeal and artistic value. - Condition: Floral pattern, shows signs of use, overall in good condition.

Request more information and photos; we are happy to answer all questions and provide additional details to help you make a wise and enjoyable purchasing decision based on your needs and budget. 🌩️ Please read the product description and photos carefully before purchasing to understand any potential defects, signs of use, or repairs.

If you are concerned about this, we recommend visiting our physical store for in-person appraisal and selection. 🌩️ Due to objective fluctuations in pricing in the second-hand market, value is typically based on supply and demand, or different pricing strategies or marketing methods by stores. When selecting an item, focus on its actual condition, uniqueness, rarity, historical significance, brand effect, and personal preference. Please consider the item's condition, expected value, and actual use or collection status carefully before purchasing. 🌩️ The primary considerations for pricing are purchase costs and operating costs. Understanding that "the wool comes from the sheep's back," our current policy is to avoid investing excessive marketing expenses and not to operate with a mindset of "ripping off customers for quick riches." Providing the best service quality and reasonable prices are the core values of our brand, and adhering to business ethics is our operating principle. Therefore, if you still find it expensive and are unwilling to buy, it might be because the platform's fees are too high (a brilliant smile (`Д ́*)/). You might consider how to "indirectly contact" our staff, as there might be room for negotiation. 🌩️ We accept unconditional returns (as used and antique items are unique, it's impossible to exchange them unless you choose another item, with adjustments for price differences, and the buyer pays for return shipping). Return issues are handled according to consumer protection laws, adhering to the principle of a seven-day appreciation period. The buyer is responsible for return shipping costs. Upon return, the item will be inspected. If there are any damages, stains, or malfunctions that do not match the auction description and photos, proof will be presented, and compensation for restoration or devaluation (not refurbishment costs, which are different) will be sought in accordance with Article 259, Paragraph 6 of the Civil Code, "If the item to be returned is damaged, lost, or cannot be returned due to other reasons, its value shall be compensated." We highly recommend keeping a complete unboxing video; who doesn't like a reasonable discussion? 🌩️ If someone repeatedly buys and returns, increasing our workload, after about two or three times, we will consider the severity of the situation and issue a blacklist. There's a give and take. If you intentionally manipulate regulations to make us lose money and become busier, we will naturally refuse to do business with you; it's only fair. We will inform you of the reason before blocking. We don't block people silently like an ex who disappears after a breakup. 🌩️ Our business culture is straightforward, but we do not tolerate problematic customers. We are adept at researching regulations, so we advise considering whether you enjoy long reading comprehension and textual analysis before throwing a tantrum (I, for one, do). We will demonstrate that the coexistence of being straightforward and holding grudges is entirely possible; Lannisters always pay their debts. 🌩️ Thank you for your support, cooperation, and understanding. We hope you feel satisfied and at ease during your antique shopping experience and look forward to providing you with a unique and fulfilling selection.
