The perfect pendant for a jeweller. The precise proportions of the alloy 18k gold are broken down to its constituent parts: pure gold, pure copper and pure silver. This is the 3rd piece in an edition of 5, edition stamped and initialed by the artist.
5cm long x 0.25cm wide, on an 18k gold, hanging to a length of 38.5cm.
Akiko Kurihara’s work is typified by quiet wit and fine craftsmanship, each piece tells a story with a language that is spare and eloquent.
“Casual discoveries in daily life, and small findings in physical phenomena which we unconsciously use. I create jewelry pieces out of such discoveries using humor and wit in minimalistic ways. I like to challenge myself to expand the possibilities of the jewelry, even if they are small objects.
And I expect that humor and wit in my work would connect me to the person wearing my piece, as well as to people seeing the piece.”
