Inlay Necklace | Shippo Pattern

Silver necklace with an inlay pendant featuring gold detailing and a cut overlay pendant. Both pendants feature the Shippo pattern, symbolising the seven treasures and happiness in Japanese culture.

Since ancient times, inlay crafts have been used around the world. Metal inlay is thought to have travelled to Japan along the Silk Road as early as the Asuka Period (592-710). Family-run brand Zinlay is bringing this early craft into the contemporary landscape of jewellery design.

Every Zinlay piece is hand-crafted with extreme attention to detail in its Kyoto studio. Unique geometric designs that bring in iconic symbols of Japan’s seasons are a signature of this bold collection.
