Kumihimo Craftsmanship

The Kumihimo braiding technique dates back to ancient Japan, where it was originally used to create cords for samurai armor. Today, this intricate method produces stunning jewelry pieces like this pearl necklace. Each bead is carefully selected and hand-braided to create a sturdy yet flexible rope-like structure that drapes beautifully around the neck. The necklace features a premium gold-tone clasp that complements the warm tones of the pearls.
