A gorgeous pressed-glass cabochon, made in post-war Japan during the Occupation, glows in a luscious coral and blooms with a tiny bouquet of zinnias.
These little cabochons carry a quietly fascinating history: many were made not in factories but by rice farmers in their homes and then exported to America as part of the effort to help rebuild Japan’s economy after World War II. That means this piece is not only lovely to wear but also holds a little story of resilience and care.
It’s set in sterling silver and hangs on a sterling chain that can be worn just shy of 18 inches or just shy of 19 inches, so you can choose the length that feels right. I am happy to alter the chain length at no extra charge. Simply send me your preferred length after checkout and allow me one day to make the change before shipping.
Lovingly hand crafted in my studio in Illinois, USA
