Rusty Thought

Japan - Created in Japan by Ryo Katori using traditional jewelry making techniques such as 'shippo-yaki' (cloisonné enamel) and 'ohaguro' burning (resulting in a black rust effect on iron), Rusty Thought is a quiet, restrained collection of jewelry to be handed down to the next generation. Meant to show their individual patina over time as they change little by little with each day they are worn.
