Kinsai Raden Bangle / New Zealand Black Raden

Product information

A stylish unisex bangle.
It was created by adapting the kinsai (gold-leaf decoration) technique of kimono-making for accessories. We can also apply raden (mother-of-pearl inlay) to kimono with our own technique, so we have brought it to accessories too, handcrafting bangles with original designs. Natural abalone shell is specially processed.
