The ancient Japanese art of Kintsugi is rooted in a philosophy that encourages acceptance and appreciation of wounds, failures, and imperfections. Instead of perceiving these flaws as shortcomings, kintsugi teaches us to see them as sources of strength and beauty. ALEXANDRA's Kintsugi collections reinterpret this philosophy by choosing the white layer of the sardonic shell for its resemblance to ceramics. An irregular and branched engraving is added to the surface representing a fracture and its refined transformation.
ALEXANDRA transforms each cameo into a unique work of art, highlighting the journey from imperfection to beauty. The Kintsugi Flora earrings feature floral motifs meticulously hand-carved on frameless circular sardonic shell. The intricate designs are intentionally interrupted by lines that appear to be placed at random, each one adorned with 24 kt gold leaf.
Peony - symbol of beauty, grace and nobility of soul.
