Handcrafted Multi-Color Lacquer Bead Bracelet | 12mm Natural Urushi with Gold Leaf | 15 Beads | Artisan Crafted

[Urushi Lacquer] Natural Sap, Built Layer by Layer
Each bead is coated with natural urushi lacquer applied in successive layers — left to cure, then sanded and polished by hand, repeated dozens of times before completion. The lacquer surface is warm as jade, soft to the touch, and reveals its layered strata when held to the light: a depth and warmth that synthetic coatings can never achieve. 

[Multi-Color Lacquer] One Bead, One World — Each Unlike the Last
Fifteen beads, fifteen colors — blue as the deep sea, green as emerald, red as flame, purple as twilight, pink as dawn, black as still night, white as fresh snow. No two beads share the same blend of strata or the same flow of grain; strung together, they form a miniature scroll of the universe. This is not a uniformly colored product from a production line — each bead is individually lacquered by the artisan's hand.

[Gold Leaf] Threads of Gold, Starlight in Motion
Gold leaf and gold thread are embedded within every bead, half-hidden between the lacquer strata — on the blue beads, gold veins crackle like lightning across the sky; on the black beads, gold flecks scatter like stars in a clear night; on the red beads, gold patterns flow like molten rock. Turn the wrist and the gold shifts in the light, the entire bracelet shimmering like a galaxy in motion.

[12mm × 15 Beads] A Weight That Sits Right, Fifteen for Fullness
At 12mm in diameter, the beads suit every wrist — light enough for all-day wear, substantial enough to feel present. Lacquer is naturally light, so the bracelet rests gently against the skin. The strand is made of fifteen beads: fifteen is the number of the full moon in the lunar calendar, a number of completion, reunion, and wholeness. Each bead is rounded and polished to a full, smooth sphere.

[Aesthetic] A Galaxy at the Wrist, for Daily Wear and for Keeping
In daily wear, the multi-color lacquer shifts with whatever you wear — there is always a hue that answers the day. In formal settings, the gold leaf glows subtly at the cuff: understated, yet carrying weight. When not worn, lay the bracelet on a desk: fifteen colored beads in a circle, a miniature orrery of color and form. The lacquer develops a richer patina with age — a bracelet to wear for a lifetime.

[Care] Wipe lacquer gently with a soft cloth. Avoid sharp objects, strong acids, and alkalis.
Protect from direct sunlight and sudden temperature changes. Store in a jewelry box or soft pouch when not worn to prevent cord wear and bead scratches.
