This stunning necklace features a harmonious blend of onyx beads, matte gold glass beads, and handmade Tensha beads, imported directly from Japan. The Tensha beads are meticulously crafted through an intricate process, where a delicate transfer pattern is applied to an acrylic sphere. Each bead is then carefully coated and adorned with intricate gold accents, transforming it into a true work of art.
The onyx beads offer a sleek, polished finish, contrasting beautifully with the matte gold glass beads, which add a subtle yet elegant shine. The Tensha beads, with their detailed designs, bring a unique touch of artistry and cultural significance to the piece.
The design of the beads showcases delicate tonbo (dragonflies), which hold deep significance in Japanese culture. Symbolizing courage, strength, and happiness, dragonflies were also revered by the samurai, often appearing on their helmets as a symbol of victory. Known as kachi-mushi or "victorious insect," the dragonfly was cherished as a powerful emblem of triumph.
