"Shinryu" Size: 1.67" x 4.71" Price: SOLD


In December of 2015 Jason Burruss returned from Japan with this flower of life cab created by Junichi and set about fashioning a stunning wrap fit for such a king as this. As you can see from the pics, that cab is full-sized and utterly BRILLIANT, with an amazingly detailed border which Jun created encircling the flower of life section in the middle. WOW is a woeful understatement!! The piece is wrapped in .935 Argentium silver and 14 kt. yellow gold-filled wire and contains a top oval cut stone which is a 2.5 ct. Blue Spinel. This is a really rare color and really high quality gem, a collector's stone. It has a purple hue as well, which makes it slightly dichromatic. The sapphire in the middle is a yellow and blue bi-color. The top is a solid blue. They weigh a total of 22.5 ct. and are mined by a family mine in Sri Lanka that Jason supports. The flower of life cab for this piece was only the second to be created by Junichi. The piece also comes with a nice sterling silver snake chain, and it is all presented in a nice colorful Japanese fabric pouch. This is a gem of a pendant, one for the ages!! The cab itself is 1.67" in size.

In addition to all of this, this piece is part of Jason's 'Tokyo Collection' which he created as a result of that trip to Japan. He is in the process of creating a book which will feature this pendant and all of the others that came about as a result of his creative collaboration with Junichi and several other top Japanese artists. A copy of that book will come with this pendant, and if I don't have a copy of the book yet when this pieces sells, then I will mail one to you as soon as I receive them from Jason. Thanks, and congrats to the future owner of this amazing specimen!
