Moon and Star Raku Bead Necklace

This moon and star pendant is a genuine Raku bead (see explanation below).

The bead is threaded onto a durable stainless steel necklace measuring 50cm in length. The necklace closes with a lobster claw clasp and has a small star charm attached next to the clasp.

The pendant measures 2.5cm in diameter.

Raku beads are made in Peru. Each Raku bead will be different from another because of the process: Each bead is "smoked" in a naturally formed oxygen reduced atmosphere. The oxygen is then drawn out of the beads and the glaze causing the resulting colors, metallic lusters, and crackles associated with raku pottery. Raku produces extraordinary results which cannot be predicted. The mixture of different temperatures and a broad range of chemical elements make Raku pottery special as each piece is unpredictably unique.
