SDGs Screw-back Earrings made of upcycled Shigaraki Pottery Clay using Kintsugi.
This jewelry is created by upcycling ceramics by the artist Yoshiko Koike, who works in Habikino, Osaka. Her pieces are made using Shigaraki clay, known for its earthy and warm texture. We reuse cracked, chipped, or no longer used pottery, restoring and redesigning them into unique accessories using the Kintsugi technique.
The concept of this work is to allow people to feel close to nature and long-standing Japanese traditions, giving new life and possibilities to pieces by transforming them into modern accessories that connect to the future.
These ceramic shards, with their gentle brown hue, are paired with casual, dot-patterned Dalmatian Jasper stones. Kintsugi is applied to the sides, so the gold shines from every angle, creating a sophisticated and refined look.
Please enjoy wearing them as a chic focal point for both casual and elegant outfits.
Size: 13 x 28 mm
Type: Screw-back Earrings (Hardware cannot be changed)
Weight: Although made of ceramic, they are lightweight and comfortable to wear.
As this is a unique, one-of-a-kind accessory, it is perfect for a gift.
Please consider it as a present for your loved ones.
*Since this is a finished one-of-a-kind product, we cannot accept hardware changes or requests for resale.
*We will ship the item shown in the photos. However, if it has already been sold on another site, it may be made to order. In that case, please note that there will be individual differences in the color and pattern of the ceramic shards and natural stones.
*"Kintsugi" is a traditional Japanese repair technique that connects cracked or chipped ceramics using lacquer and gold powder. This work is created using a modern "simplified Kintsugi" technique. Unlike traditional Kintsugi made with raw tree sap (Hon-urushi), the bonding itself uses adhesive. The Kintsugi parts are made using lacquer (modern paint) and gold powder (brass powder, pearl powder), and UV resin is used for reinforcement.
