This lovely Kintsugi Heart Necklace is inspired by the Japanese art of putting broken pottery pieces back together with with gold lacquer, known as Kintsugi (金継ぎ, “golden joinery”), or Kintsukuroi (金繕い, “golden repair”). This dainty silver heart pendant features an engraved Kintsugi inspired crack that is filled with gold fill. It embraces the beauty of imperfect things- (“wabi sari”). Kintsugi is thought to honor brokenness and challenges in life — It celebrates the beauty in imperfection and the value of broken things. Like pottery our trials, imperfections and challenges may break us, but they can also make us stronger and more beautiful. Through Christ we can mend and transform what has broken us, and we can find beauty in the flaw — we can find healing, courage and strength to press forward and become the best version of ourselves despite our brokenness. Kintsugi is not about perfection. If we turn to our Savior, the master craftsman, He can make us whole. Through Christ we find healing, courage and the strength to press forward and become the best version of ourselves. Truly, our Savior came to offer us beauty for ashes, joy instead of mourning, and the garment of praise in exchange for the spirit of heaviness. (Isaiah 61:3) This Kintsugi inspired pendant is paired with a dainty adjustable sterling silver chain and packaged with a t card with Kintsugi entitled “He lives to mend our broken heart” with the Kintsugi description on the back.
