Sphere Silk Necklace - Lavender
スフィアシルクネックレス ラベンダー
A silk necklace crafted through intricate embroidery of two sizes of spheres in Kiryū, Gunma Prefecture.
This Sphere Silk Necklace is crafted by Kasamori, a renowned embroidery company established in 1877, in Kiryū, Gunma Prefecture.
The necklace was developed by blending their extensive embroidery expertise with fresh, inventive ideas. The intricate three-dimensional embroidery process begins with hand-drawn sketches, which are digitized and put into a large embroidery machine with ten heads, capable of stitching detailed designs.
The secret behind transforming the jewellery from a flat embroidered surface to its three-dimensional form lies in a water-soluble fabric base. After the embroidery is complete, the necklace is carefully hand-washed and the base dissolved, allowing the necklace to take shape.
Kantō
The Kantō region is densely populated and home to a third of the country's population. It is centred around the nation's vibrant capital – Tokyo, formerly known as Edo, which has been the cultural, economic and political heart of Japan for centuries. Outside this megacity, there are mountains, onsen and ski resorts, magnificent temple complexes and excellent surfing opportunities within easy reach.
