"Kunchen Talisman" Size: 1.79" x 5.28" Price: SOLD


Here is another absolutely stunning gem from Jason Burruss' 'Tokyo Collection', the Kunchen aka 'All Knowing' Talisman! Jason wrapped this gorgeous Takao cab in .935 Argentium silver and 14 kt. yellow gold-filled wire, along with a massive 19.5 ct. beautiful piece of Moldavite on the bottom, and then a 13 gram Blue Tourmaline Crystal and a 7.5 ct. Green Tourmaline Facet at the top. The whole ensemble is absolutely PERFECT in every way, flawlessly executed. Jason is a genius at finding the perfect gems to match the glass cabs in each piece he creates, and it's hard to believe how well he nailed this one. But even with all of that glorious adornment, that cab that Takao created still shines brighter than the sun, with an AMAZING pattern of dots, thousands of them, arranged in such a stunningly controlled fashion. Just look at that precision and artistry!! It's an amazing work of art, something that belongs in a museum, and yet you can hang this museum piece around your neck for all the world to see! The cab itself is 1.79" in size and it is signed 'Takao 15'.

The piece is presented in a nice colorful Japanese fabric pouch for safe keeping. As stated above, this piece is part of Jason's 'Tokyo Collection' which he created as a result of his December 2015 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 Yoshinori 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.
