Tears of the Manmade Earrings no.3
A single pierced earring with a big hand-crafted glass pearl.

'Tears of the Manmade'
A glass pearl jewellery collection as a result of exploration into how imitation pearls obtain their own unique value, beyond that as substitutional mimicry of natural pearls. The glass pearls used in this collection are delicately handcrafted by artisans in Izumi, Osaka, a city with over 100 years of history in producing imitation pearls. An artisan slowly immerses a glass kernel into a pool of pearlescent fluid and slowly pulls it up – glass pearls come into existence from repeating this process again and again, accumulating layers of glowing film over an extended period of time. If natural pearls are called ‘Tears of Mermaid,’ glass pearls can be called ‘Tears of the Manmade,’ a crystalized form of the artisans’ sweat, tears and craftsmanship. Each glass pearl in this collection contains a wish that such craftsmanship should not go unnoticed and be hindered by the word ‘imitation’.

STORY

  • コレクションに使われている硝子真珠は、人造真珠製造に100年以上もの歴史をもつ大阪府和泉市の職人によって一つ一つ手加工で作られています。
  • 硝子の核が職人の手によってゆっくりと真珠液の中に沈められ、綺麗な膜をまとってまたゆっくりと引き上げられる。
  • これを幾度も時間をかけて繰り返し、七色に光る膜を積層したのちにこの硝子真珠は形を成します。
