Sculpted from history, this rare pendant necklace features the legendary hō-ō — the Japanese phoenix — rising beneath the radiance of the sun, hand-cut from a genuine 1958 silver 100 Yen coin from Japan. A symbol of rebirth, imperial grace, and celestial balance, the phoenix is masterfully revealed through negative space, preserving the powerful imagery of the original design in striking silhouette.
Issued during the early Shōwa period, this vintage coin is crafted from fine Japanese silver. The pendant’s intricate cutwork captures the mythic bird in mid-flight, wings outstretched toward the sun — an eternal motif of transformation, resilience, and harmony.
This piece becomes a bold yet refined heirloom — a conversation between the past and the present, tradition and contemporary elegance.
