What Makes It Uncommon

Kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold, treats cracks not as flaws to hide but as part of an object's history and beauty. Emilie Shapiro brings that philosophy into this men's necklace by sawing a bronze pendant in half, then rejoining it with luminous 14k yellow gold. The bronze is blackened afterward to deepen the contrast, allowing the golden seam to stand out as a striking symbol of resilience, healing, and strength earned over time.

  • Pendant is handcrafted using bronze repaired with 14k yellow gold.
  • Inspired by the Japanese philosophy of kintsugi, which honors beauty formed through repair and renewal.
  • Blackened bronze finish highlights the gold "mended" seam.
  • Waxed cotton cord adjusts from 20" to 22".
  • Designed as an understated everyday piece for men.
  • Each pendant has organic variations that make every necklace unique.
  • Handmade in New York.

A goal is just a dream with a deadline.

There was never a moment that Emilie Shapiro didn't consider herself an artist. "Before I could speak," she says, "I expressed myself through what I made with my hands." While getting her degree in metalsmithing at Syracuse University, she spent a summer at Alchimia Contemporary Jewelry School in Florence, Italy. "I have a massive stone collection that I started when I was two," and to spark inspiration, she says, "I usually pull out my drawers of gems and minerals and something catches my eye."
