About the Item
A stunning pair of antique Japanese Shakudo cufflinks, featuring intricate floral designs. Shakudo, a traditional Japanese alloy made of gold and copper, is known for its unique dark bluish-black patina, achieved through a process called rokusho, where a compound is applied to the piece and then heated to create the signature finish. Originally developed for use in Japanese armor and swords, Shakudo was banned by the Japanese government in 1876. As a result, artisans began turning their expertise to creating jewelry and other decorative objects, preserving this beautiful and highly skilled craft.
These cufflinks are a rare example of Shakudo craftsmanship and may have originally been crafted as decorative objects before being converted into cufflinks. The design features finely detailed floral motifs that showcase the artistry and tradition behind Shakudo.
