Kiretsu (亀裂 Fissure) Pendant

This commanding steel pendant explores the tension between rupture and continuity. Deeply etched layers sweep across the surface like geological strata or tidal currents, while a dramatic fissure travels along the central spine, transforming the form into a dynamic spiral. Fused bronze emerges within the divide like a seam of exposed ore, its golden tones illuminating the darkened steel and emphasizing the movement of the piece. At the heart of the composition, a glass lens backed with 24k gold creates a luminous focal point that draws the eye inward. Monumental in presence yet refined in detail, the piece evokes the forces of erosion, discovery, and transformation, revealing beauty from disruption. Suspended from an 18” heavy woven stainless steel cable.

Care Instructions

While the jewelry has been sealed for protection, it is possible (though unlikely) that steel can rust if exposed to moisture. Store the jewelry away from moisture and avoid submerging it in any liquids. Avoid contact with perfumes, sunscreens or lotions. Occasionally rub a small amount of light oil into the surface.
