DEBPIX's Gemmed Collection

This collection features designs that honor colorful and vibrant minerals, gemstones, stones, and precious metals. An explanation for why I created this collection will be helpful to those who scratch their heads or are in awe of the collection's uniqueness. These elegant designs will beautify your gear and make great conversation pieces, yes, but there is more to it. The collection deliberately gives a nod to Kintsugi. Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by joining the broken pieces with a lacquer mixed with gold, silver, or platinum. Instead of hiding the cracks or breaks, Kintsugi highlights them and uses them as part of the design. The philosophy behind Kintsugi is to embrace the imperfections and damage as part of the object's history, rather than hiding them or throwing the object away. Kintsugi is seen as a way to give a new life and new value to the object, rather than simply fixing it. It is also considered a form of mindfulness and a way to appreciate the beauty in imperfection.
