10 Edo Bekko (Tortoiseshell)Traditional Materials Reimagined with Modern Fluorescent Colors
Tortoiseshell, prized as a precious and luxurious ornament since the Edo period, is cherished as a symbol of good fortune and longevity. As artisans’ techniques evolved, a new innovation emerged—a fusion of tortoiseshell and acrylic incorporating fluorescent and phosphorescent materials. Experience a neo-classical aesthetic through our accessories, and enjoy their smooth texture, elegant luster, beautiful translucency, and lightweight comfort.
With the refined craftsmanship of master artisans, a beautiful form seamlessly integrating different materials has been achieved. The fluorescent and phosphorescent colors of acrylic lend a bright impression to your attire, adding a subtle, playful glow in the dark. The stress-free lightness, comfortable fit, and beautiful translucence are unique to tortoiseshell. The lightweight, highly transparent acrylic enhances the beauty of tortoiseshell without diminishing its natural charm. Tortoiseshell and acrylic are materials that rarely cause allergies, and the earring fittings that come into direct contact with the skin are made of titanium for added comfort. Earrings are also available with nickel-free fittings.
