The left earring features a navy base, showcasing a beautiful white floral pattern once praised as "white gold" by European aristocracy. The right earring presents a modern and chic design with white petals on a subdued yellow background. The vibrant turquoise beautifully complements the patterns. .................. ・Arita Ware... Porcelain produced in and around Arita Town, Saga Prefecture. Considered the first porcelain made in Japan, it has been cherished as tableware and crafts for over 400 years. Known for its exquisite indigo blue dyeing and vibrant painted designs, it exudes a sense of dignified elegance. .................. ・Turquoise... A power stone believed to protect its wearer from danger and negative energy, bringing courage and happiness. It is said to inspire the boldness to act and guide towards achieving dreams and goals. .................. Each piece is unique, as the patterns and colors vary depending on how the Arita porcelain breaks, making it a one-of-a-kind treasure. While porcelain may evoke a sense of heaviness for some, these pieces are remarkably lightweight. You might even forget you're wearing them. Their comfortable feel ensures a stress-free experience. As a truly unique accessory, they make an ideal gift for yourself or for someone special who appreciates individuality and wishes to stand out. With their understated colors and timeless design, they are suitable for all ages. Though inspired by traditional Japanese patterns, when paired with natural stones, they surprisingly blend seamlessly into everyday wear. They complement T-shirts in spring and summer, blouses, shirts, jackets, and dresses for a chic look, and cardigans, knits, turtlenecks, and sweaters in autumn and winter. They pair well with both pants and skirts. Perfect for gifts such as birthdays, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Christmas, job promotions, coming-of-age ceremonies, and baby showers. Their modern Japanese aesthetic also complements traditional attire for events like fireworks festivals, summer festivals, first meals (Oshokuji), coming-of-age ceremonies, pre-wedding photoshoots, weddings, and Shichi-Go-San celebrations. Their seasonless colors make them suitable for year-round wear. ..............................

Please understand that there may be slight resin overflow. * The hardware may be changed to silver for certain pieces (e.g., those with translucent materials like sea glass or natural stones). The material itself will remain the same. * Kintsugi is a traditional Japanese technique that revives broken or cracked ceramics using lacquer and gold powder. * We use New Urushi (a less allergenic lacquer) and gold powder (brass powder) instead of traditional Urushi. * Natural stones may contain impurities, minor scratches, or small chips, as they are natural. Please accept this as part of their natural character. * Please understand that variations in glaze are characteristic of handmade items. Some Mino ware tiles, in particular, often have uneven glaze on their sides. * Individual sensitivities to metal, resin, and lacquer vary. If you experience any skin irritation, please discontinue use and consult a dermatologist. We are not responsible for any injuries or allergic reactions caused by the product. * The actual color may appear slightly different from the image depending on your monitor, brightness, and screen environment. 〈Care Instructions〉 * Handle gently to avoid breakage from strong force. * Be careful, as the Kintsugi parts may detach if rubbed vigorously or submerged in water for extended periods. Clean gently with a soft cloth. * Store away from high temperatures, humidity, and direct sunlight. 〈Shipping〉 * Please contact us before purchasing if you require urgent delivery. * Items purchased in the same cart will be shipped together. Items purchased in separate carts will be shipped separately, and separate shipping fees will apply. * If the item is returned due to an incorrect address, the customer will be responsible for the reshipment fee (cash on delivery). 〈Other〉 * A packing slip will not be included. * Receipts cannot be issued. * Items purchased within 30 days are eligible for free repair.

We use a simplified Kintsugi method, employing New Urushi (less allergenic lacquer) and brass powder, reinforced with UV resin for durability, rather than traditional tree sap lacquer. relish 211(82)
