Significant price reduction. I had this made about 10 years ago by a metalwork artisan. I entrusted a Fukuda pipe as a sample and had them create the shape. A ruby is embedded in the head instead of Nishiki. The presence is different from cheap resin products. The shape was difficult to create, and the production cost was high enough to make me hesitate. The necklace is surgical stainless steel (silver has a high risk of breaking). Because it's made of solid silver, there is some blackening, but I think it gives it a good look. It has been cleaned with an ultrasonic cleaner and then sterilized by boiling. If anyone wants it, please feel free to inquire.
