This 'Teddy Bear' pendant from theRelic Seriesis hand poured using my customshibuichi alloy, a traditional Japanese silver–copper blend known for its warm tone and organic character.
Every piece begins as ahand-carved formand is poured once, creating a pendant that cannot be exactly replicated. Subtle variations in shape, texture, and expression are a natural result of this process and are embraced as part of the design.
Gemstone eyes bring contrast and life to the raw metal surface, blending refined detail with an aged, artifact-like feel — as if the piece were excavated rather than made.
Small, tactile, and symbolic, each bear is a modern relic shaped by fire, metal, and hand.
