Lately, I've been busy with my main job and haven't had much time for crafting. Since it's the Obon holiday, I made a little something. Made with silver 925 and 950. It's engraved with an original random pattern derived from Indian jewelry style. This is a one-of-a-kind piece, only made and sold here. This time, instead of turquoise, I used jade, which became Japan's national stone in 2016. I selected a stone called "Irikon-sawa" from the jade, carved it from the raw stone, and polished it. Even in its raw state, it was expensive, but it's a very high-quality piece with a transparent white and a crisp ink blue. It's the largest piece of white and blue Irikon-sawa I've made so far. It's about 9mm thick and has a good volume while still being very translucent. I minimized waste as much as possible from the raw stone I received and polished it by hand up to 4000 grit. There's a hole in the back so you can enjoy the translucence. It's handmade, so there may be some imperfections, but I hope you like it. The chain is for reference only and is not included.
