Maki-e is a traditional Japanese painting technique developed over a millennia ago where lacquer is applied to surfaces and a pure gold or silver paint is mixed in for a flat or a raised ornamentation. Decorative mosaics are created from tiny abalone shell tiles, often accented with the same gold or silver paint. Many of the designs on the pearls are unique, giving a truly one-of-a-kind charm.
