Wild Chrysanthemum Elegance

This is a lightweight urushi lacquer and mother-of-pearl necklace featuring the classic "twisted chrysanthemum" pattern. Each piece is a unique creation by an artisan, infused with traditional urushi lacquer techniques. It's an accessory for adults who want to incorporate the beauty of urushi lacquer into their daily outfits.

A Unique Radiance Woven by Hand

By applying various pigments to the back of the iridescent abalone shell, we've created colorful hues that change expression depending on the viewing angle.

【Important Notes】

The back of the item is finished with urushi lacquer. If you have sensitive skin, we recommend wearing it over clothing to avoid direct skin contact.
If you wish to wear it directly against your skin, we can produce it with genuine leather attached to the back. The price will remain the same (no change).
If you are interested, please feel free to contact us via the inquiry form.

Due to the use of natural abalone shell, there may be individual differences in patterns and colors. Also, minute chips or cracks inherent to the material may be visible.

Each item is handcrafted with multiple layers of urushi lacquer. Therefore, slight unevenness or dust adhesion may be visible on the painted surface, but we appreciate your understanding that this is part of the unique character of handmade works.

Matching Box (Optional +1,100 yen)
