A juzu bracelet pairing the anchoring weight of black onyx with deep-blue Ryukyu hotaru firefly glass, hand-blown in Okinawa.
Onyx has long been worn as a centering stone, said to steady the spirit and sharpen resolve in moments of decision. Its lacquer-black depth contrasts here with blue glass beads layered with fine silver leaf — an Okinawan technique that traps light inside the bead. The blue shifts and glows with the angle of the light, evoking the Ryukyu sea at dusk.
Traditional Kyoto juzu craftsmanship in a quietly modern silhouette. Each strand is hand-finished by a master artisan on quadruple silicone cord for everyday wear; presented in a paulownia gift box.
