Vintage Japanese Kutani Porcelain Earrings handmade with Seikaiha Design

If you are in search of eco friendly, upcycled gift ideas for someone special, discover these upcycled purple gold geometric china earrings, handmade with gold plated sterling silver settings, tiny gold flowers, and repurposed Imari porcelain pieces from a vintage Japanese Kutani porcelain plate. Each earring features a purple and gold "Seikaiha" pattern---an ancestral Japanese motif that is seen frequently on modern vintage Japanese ceramics, fabrics, paper, and illustrations. Seikaiha (also known as "Seigaiha") literally means ‘blue sea and waves,’ with the water and waves symbolizing power and resistance, wealth and resilience, and representing surges of good luck. While traditionally created in blue, in modern contemporary decor and fashion, there is also much demand and appreciation for seikaiha in other colors. What better way to celebrate her birthday, 9th or 18th anniversary (pottery and porcelain respectively) than a unique upcycled porcelain gift to cherish for years to come!
