Kintsugi Inspires Contemporary Jewellery Designs

Japanese kintsugi technique is now inspiring contemporary jewellery designers. This unique method of repairing broken pottery with gold has influenced creators like Sarah Simpson, who incorporates kintsugi elements into her pieces. With a focus on sustainability, Simpson’s work features broken ceramics transformed into wearable art, often with 24-karat gold accents.

Her collection, launched in 2022, showcases 15 distinct designs, each telling a story of rebirth and beauty in imperfection.
