Plum blossom necklace - Ume - Japanese jewelry - Japanese flower -

This popular Japanese plum blossom necklace is simply made up of one blossom flower attached to a gold filled chain. The pendant has been plated in 23K Gold, with the gold having been manually scraped away to reveal the silver base. This delicate and intricate finish gives this sought-after design its unique beauty. The Plum blossom is approximately 9mm in length. The chain is 40cm in length (we also have 45cm). Material of pendant: 23K Gold Vermeil (23K Gold Plated Britannia Silver 958) Material of chain: Gold filled -- also known as "rolled gold" or "rolled gold plate" is composed of a solid layer of gold bonded with heat and pressure to a base metal of brass. Our gold-filled chains have the same appearance as 14 karat (58%) gold. Please note: These pieces are not pink in any way. They are a combination of silver and gold. The pendant is crafted with a base of Britannia Silver 958, a high purity silver which retains its bright color (unlike sterling silver which tarnishes easily). It is plated with 23K Gold (Vermeil) before our unique finishing process. We provide a zip lock bag in which we recommend to store your piece/s to shut out the air. This will help to keep your pieces bright for a long time.Manufacturing location(s)/process(es)Designed and handmade in Ginza, Tokyo, Japan
