Kintsugi, an ancient Japanese art, celebrates the beauty of imperfection and resilience. The technique involves repairing broken objects with lacquer typically mixed with powdered gold. This modern take uses a durable, in-house 23k gold and resin amalgam, and it is inlaid inside this gold ring. This not only highlights the fractures but transforms them into glistening veins of precious metal, creating a unique mosaic of historical, classic beauty. Kintsugi embodies the philosophy of embracing flaws as integral parts of an object’s story, symbolizing the beauty in healing and the strength found in fragility. This ring, with its delicate porcelain restored by shimmering gold, becomes a wearable testament to the art’s profound aesthetic and cultural significance.
The outer portion of this ring is made of 14k yellow gold. 18k is also an option, and will be +$300. Message for details.
Gold, while beautiful, has disadvantages when compared to modern jewelry materials like cobalt, zirconium, tungsten, and titanium.
Sizing
I highly recommend going to a jewelry counter to determine your size, even if you already know your size. "Do it yourself" ring sizing methods (string, etc.) should absolutely not be trusted. Be sure to be measured using the width you plan to order.
Comfort fit.
NOTE ON WIDTH:
The minimum width for this style of ring is 4mm. The maximum is 8mm.
Recommended width is calculated in this way: Size 5 is 5mm wide. Width increases .5mm per full size above that.
