"Kandy Kinoko" Size: 1.34 x 2.37" Price: SOLD

Stunningly beautiful glass collab pendant right here!!! I REALLY love this one. This pendant features one focal fumed marble by Rose Roads, and it is AWESOME, soooo nicely done. See what I mean by Jun being a master wiht the fuming as well?! And there's a BONUS - the marble spins (tightly) within its leather exterior, giving you multiple viewing and display possibilities. How sweet is THAT!

And yeah, I said leather! You thought it was wood, right? So did I at first. This is actually a collab with Jun's friend Kousuke Oyama, aka Kinoko Heads, who is a master leather worker. And I mean MASTER. He spends at least a day on each of these pieces, preparing and eventually carving the leather that makes up the design. I'm really at a loss for how he does it - it is SO nice, so professionally done. Like we'd expect anything less from the masterful Japanese, but still - this is really incredible stuff! This one is PARTICULARLY NICE, with the rainbow layers of leather worked into the design. Just CRAZY sweet work, and I love the flowing pattern he chose for this one. Combine that with Rose Roads goodness and you have a pendant for the ages, to be passed down through generations!
