This rare wearable artifact pairs a 19th-century Edo/Meiji-period ojime—a meticulously hand-carved sterling silver floral bead once used as a functional component of a samurai’s sword ornament—with a sleek modern chain, creating a striking fusion of history and contemporary elegance. Measuring 39mm wide x 13mm tall, the pendant showcases intricate botanical motifs emblematic of traditional Japanese metalwork, its aged patina whispering tales of the past, while the lightweight 10.2g design ensures effortless wearability. Restored with care, the piece bridges eras: the original ojime, a relic of Japan’s samurai culture, is ethically paired with an adjustable 18-20” sterling silver chain, offering versatility for layering or standalone statement styling. Ideal for collectors or lovers of cultural heritage, this necklace arrives with a certificate of authenticity, presented in a velvet gift box, ready to adorn modern wardrobes with timeless narrative charm.
