A silver bracelet made from Magatama, Japan's oldest ornament.
Originally made from agate stone, they have been popular as jewelry for over 2,000 years.
The magatama used as parts have been used in rituals since ancient times, and in modern times they are also used as talismans to ward off evil spirits and bad luck when worn.
I have an agate Mihogitama bracelet, but I wanted it to fit in with modern fashion so I had it reconstructed in silver.
The material is all 925 silver, including the chain.
The magatama are black plated, the tubular beads are pink gold plated, and the round beads are plain silver .
The parts are strung on a silver chain with a total length of 18cm.
