KIRIKO Fish Roe and Akoya Necklace

A beautiful necklace featuring cut glass with a traditional Nanako pattern and Akoya pearls.

To show off the clean beauty of the Kiriko glass, a groove was carved into the edge and 10- karat gold wire was embedded all around it, and then it was attached to a necklace chain with Akoya pearls strung through it.

The cut glass motifs, carefully carved one by one from a large crystal glass base, combined with Akoya pearls, stylishly decorate the chest without being too assertive.

The cut glass parts can be removed from the chain, so you can wear it as a single pearl necklace. It's a 2-way type that can be worn depending on your mood and the situation of the day.

KARAFURU 's KIRIKO jewelry is made entirely by hand, from cutting out the crystal glass to finishing the jewelry, by the young fourth-generation owner of Edo Kiriko, fully demonstrating the skilled techniques and precision of his artisans.

The "nanoko" pattern has many diagonal lines and rows of small squares, and when the light reflects off them, they look like fish eggs, which is why they are called "na no ko" or "naoko," and are imbued with the meaning of "prosperity of descendants." In addition, because they look like a series of fish scales, they represent the shedding of the skin, making them a warding off evil and a rebirth.
