Bizen Ware Kintsugi Necklace | Surgical Stainless Steel Chain | Allergy-Friendly | 18K Gold Plated | Gray | Brown | Carnelian | Natural Stone | Traditional Craftsmanship | No.440

These are SDGs-conscious jewelry pieces featuring *kintsugi* made from upcycled Bizen ware. Broken or chipped pottery that would otherwise be discarded is reused and adorned with *kintsugi*, transforming them into beautiful accessories. The concept behind these creations is to bring the essence of nature and Japan's enduring traditions closer to you, reimagining them as modern accessories that connect to the future and unlock new possibilities. We use pottery crafted by Kazuhiko Uchida, a potter based in Okayama Prefecture, renowned for his Bizen ware. The deep, rich hues of the pottery fragments evoke a sophisticated, mature aesthetic, making these jewelry pieces versatile enough to complement any outfit. Carnelian is paired with pottery fragments that boast a unique blend of grey and brown tones. The *kintsugi* applied to the sides of the pottery fragments creates a subtle yet striking gold accent when viewed from the side, adding a touch of refined elegance. The accompanying chain is crafted from allergy-friendly surgical stainless steel with 18K gold plating, ensuring resistance to tarnishing and gentleness on the skin. The chain length is 40cm with an additional 5cm adjuster. * **Dimensions of Pottery Fragment & Natural Stone Motif:** 11mm x 14mm * **Chain:** Surgical stainless steel chain, 40cm + 5cm adjuster * *Optional upgrades include a 45cm + 5cm surgical stainless steel chain or a 45cm 14KGF chain.* * **Weight:** Despite being made from pottery, these pieces are remarkably lightweight and comfortable to wear. As each piece is a unique, one-of-a-kind creation, it makes for a perfect gift. They are also ideal as a special present for someone dear to you. **Surgical Stainless Steel Chain with 18K Gold Plating (45cm + 5cm):** This cable chain design offers a simple yet elegant impression. The 45cm length with a 5cm adjuster makes it versatile for various styles and occasions, suitable for all genders. The chain is approximately 1mm in width. **14KGF (14K Gold Filled) Chain:** While surgical stainless steel is the default option, you can upgrade to a 14KGF chain for a more premium luster and enhanced durability. 14KGF is made by pressure-bonding 14K gold to a base metal, creating a significantly thicker layer of gold than standard plating. This ensures lasting beauty and color retention. It is also known for its resistance to sweat and water, making it a popular choice for those with sensitivities. This delicate and elegant 45cm chain (0.8mm width) features a smooth sliding ball clasp, allowing you to effortlessly adjust it to your desired length. It drapes beautifully whether worn over a turtleneck or directly on the skin. * As this is a sale of a finished, one-of-a-kind item, we cannot accept reorders. * While we ship the item shown in the photos, 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 color, pattern, and size of the pottery fragments and natural stones compared to the photos. * *Kintsugi* is a unique Japanese art form of repairing broken or chipped ceramics using lacquer and gold powder. This piece is crafted using a modern, simplified *kintsugi* technique. Instead of traditional lacquer, we use a modern, hypoallergenic lacquer (*shin urushi*) and gold-colored brass powder (*shingunpun*), reinforced with UV resin for durability. ---------------------- Gifts, Presents, Pottery Accessories, Arita Ware, Natural Stone Accessories, One-of-a-Kind Accessories, Gifts, Pottery Fragment Accessories, Natural Stone Accessories, Kintsugi, Kintsugi Accessories, Simplified Kintsugi, Modern Kintsugi, Unique Accessories, Retro, Voluminous, SDGs, SDGs Accessories, Formal, Outings, Mature Style, Entrance Ceremonies, Anniversaries, Outfit Coordination, Coming of Age Ceremonies, Kimono Coordination, Kimono Accessories, Coming of Age Ceremony Accessories, Japanese Style, Japanese Modern Accessories, Japanese Aesthetics, Pottery, Japanese Attire Coordination, Japanese Attire Accessories, Mother's Day, Mother's Day Gifts, Gift Wrapping
