OvalTwelve Colors of Unity Silver Kintsugi Necklace

Silver kintsugi necklace with a twelve-color stained glass mosaic oval pendant. Twelve colors, one mended whole.

Twelve is an age-old number of completeness and unity, and here every piece belongs. Flowing silver seams join each jewel-toned piece of glass. Nothing is hidden. The mended lines are the most beautiful part.

✦ WHAT IS GIN-TSUGI?

Kintsugi ("golden joinery") is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer and powdered metal, usually gold. It is traditionally traced to 15th-century Japan. Gin-tsugi ("silver joinery") is the silver variation, with a cooler, quieter glow. Both honor the same idea: a mended piece is not lesser. It carries its story in plain sight.

✦ WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL

✦ THE MEANING
