Arita Ware Kintsugi Surgical Stainless Steel Earrings Grey Freshwater Pearl Natural Stone Traditional Crafts No. 266

An SDGs jewelry piece featuring Kintsugi, upcycling Arita ware. Broken or chipped pottery, no longer in use, is repurposed and mended with Kintsugi to be transformed into accessories. The concept behind these pieces is to evoke a sense of nature and Japan's enduring traditions, reimagining them into modern accessories that connect to the future, thus creating new possibilities. Elegant grey pottery shards are adorned with freshwater pearls. Kintsugi is applied to the sides of the pottery fragments, allowing the gold to gleam from every angle and exude an air of refined sophistication. These pieces are perfect as a subtle accent for both casual and elegant ensembles. Length: 10 x 15mm Metal Fittings: Surgical stainless steel earrings (Fittings cannot be changed) Weight: Despite being pottery, they are lightweight and comfortable to wear. As each piece is a one-of-a-kind creation, they make for ideal gifts. Consider them as a special present for someone dear. *As these are finished, one-of-a-kind items, we are unable to accommodate requests for changes to the metal fittings or for re-creation. *You will receive the exact item pictured. However, if it has already 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 artwork utilizes a modern, simplified Kintsugi technique. Unlike traditional Kintsugi with natural urushi lacquer derived from the sap of the lacquer tree, this piece uses adhesive for its primary bonding. The Kintsugi areas are crafted using lacquer (a manufactured coating, not raw urushi) and gold powder (brass powder, pearl powder), with UV resin also incorporated for reinforcement. --------------------- Gift, Present, Pottery Shard 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, Wafuku Modern, Mature and Cute, SDGs, SDGs Accessory, Mother's Day, Mother's Day Gift, Small Gift, Outing Coordinates, Kintsugi Jewelry, Kintsugi Jewelry, Japan Traditional Crafts, Japan Jewelry
