Kintsugi neck piece

A broken ceramic piece of china set in fuschia to gold colour-shifting pigments, wrapped in recycled copper wire with an ol' mother-of-pearl turqouise bead. Choker necklace. Black fine chain with gold findings.

The 15th-Century practice of kintsugi, meaning “to join with gold”, is a reminder to stay optimistic when things fall apart and to celebrate the flaws and missteps of life. The kintsugi technique is an extension of the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, which sees beauty in the incomplete and value in simplicity.
