Embellished with black diamonds, a one-of-a-kind antique shakudo plaque forms the clasp on this exceptional 8-strand twist necklace of black jade and black spinel. Developed by the samurai sword-makers for the decoration of the sword-mounts and guards, the Japanese metalworking technique of shakudo involved creating an alloy of copper and gold, inlaid with a range of colored alloys set against a black base.
