{"product_id":"suiseki","title":"Suiseki","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSuiseki is the Japanese art of appreciating naturally formed stones whose shape, surface, color, texture, and patina evoke landscapes, objects, animals, or scenes from nature. Through the contemplation of a single stone, practitioners cultivate a deeper awareness of and connection to the natural world, perceiving within it a microcosm of nature's vastness. What may appear to be a simple stone becomes a gateway to imagination and reflection, revealing mountains, rivers, islands, and entire worlds shaped solely by nature.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSomething that is central to Smith \u0026amp; Sun is that\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eentire collections are evoked by a scent, an idea, a poem, the natural world. From there, I explore these through different mediums. My work with metal, my craft as a jeweller, begins to work in tandem with other practices.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn line with this, I began making silver Cynosure bracelets. These riff off the idea of ID bracelets, historically used to store medical information or gifted as an engraved momento. In my interpretation, I have marked these with words from a book I made, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.smithandsun.co.uk\/products\/abstract-interpretations\"\u003eAbstract Interpretations\u003c\/a\u003e, which collected over 8 years words from different languages which stirred or captured something previously indescribable, not always translatable. Engraved into the bracelet, these words capture a moment, a feeling, a memory, an intent. Which one you chose, may take on a weight of its own, becoming deeply personal. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs always with Smith \u0026amp; Sun, I love to use recycled materials and so, the chains used in this collection were either sourced through an old man with a metal detector or snapped up from various antique markets I found myself at. The rest was made by me to compliment, what already exists in the world. All sterling silver, all entirely unique.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight: 57 g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCircumference: 19.5 cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Smith \u0026 Sun","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56823956144508,"sku":null,"price":202.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0259\/5645\/0375\/files\/DSC3529.jpg?v=1780149622","url":"https:\/\/www.smithandsun.co.uk\/products\/suiseki","provider":"Smith \u0026 Sun","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
