Kyo-yaki Kintsugi Surgical Stainless Steel Earrings, Hand-Painted Floral Design, Freshwater Pearl, Dangling, Natural Stone, Traditional Craftsmanship No.369

These are SDGs jewelry pieces featuring Kintsugi, upcycled from ceramics by Fukukikama, a kiln in Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture, known for its Kyo-yaki and Kiyomizu-yaki pottery. We reuse broken or chipped ceramic pieces that would otherwise be discarded, applying Kintsugi to transform them into accessories. Our concept is to create modern accessories that connect with the future, allowing people to feel closer to nature and Japan's enduring traditions, thereby giving new possibilities to these materials. We've paired fragments of pottery, hand-painted with floral motifs, with freshwater pearls. The pearls sway gently with each movement, adding an elegant touch. Kintsugi is applied to the sides of the ceramic fragments, allowing the gold to catch the light from the side and enhance the piece's refined aesthetic. These accessories are perfect as a stylish accent for both casual and elegant outfits. Length: Ceramic fragment: 10 x 10mm, Total length: 25mm Metal fittings: Surgical stainless steel earrings (Fittings cannot be changed) Weight: Despite being ceramic fragments, they are lightweight and comfortable to wear. Each piece is one-of-a-kind, making it an ideal gift. They are also perfect for presenting to someone special. *As these are finished, one-of-a-kind items, we cannot accommodate requests for changes to the metal fittings or for re-creation. *We will send the item pictured. However, if it has already been sold on another site, 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 ceramic 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 technique. Unlike traditional Kintsugi which uses natural lacquer sap, this method uses adhesive for bonding. The Kintsugi parts are made with lacquer (a manufacturer-created paint, not raw lacquer) 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
