HOT ! Soft Chrysanthemum Ebony Bodhi Lacquer Quasi-Maki-e Necklace

This piece strings ebony Bodhi beads with silver and ivory-toned pearls, creating a restrained harmony of light and shadow. The central ring, titled Soft Chrysanthemum, features gold-powder Maki-e motifs that ripple across the matte black lacquer — a quiet ode to resilience within softness.The necklace offers versatile styling: worn long for a serene, composed look, or clasped at the center ring to form an elegant Y-shape that elongates the neckline with sculptural poise. The interplay of ebony, silver, and white forms a calm tension — light flowing gently through darkness.More than adornment, it reflects an inner philosophy: the grace of balance, the strength found within stillness.

Every WenKang piece is entirely handcrafted. Traces of the maker’s hand — subtle differences in lacquer tone, brushwork, or texture — are part of its character and beauty. No two pieces are ever exactly alike.
