Kintsugi Black Star Diopside

Kinstugi Star Diopside Pendant
 
This Pendant was inspired by a traditional Japanese art of mending broken ceramics. "Kintsugi" is a specific techinque where they use gold and laquer to fill the cracks to higlight the imperfections. The thought behind this process is a metaphor to embrace the flaws and scars because with them comes strength and beauty.  
 
This Black Star Diopide is a 103ct  stone with a four rayed star which moves with the direction of light. The crack was filled with 22kt gold foil and resin.
