Momo Glassworks BM-201 Seigaiha Pendant

Seigaiha (səi-gai′ha) Japanese.

Also pronounced seikaiha. A wave design made of the arches of concentric circles superimposed upon one another so that only the upper portion of each set of circles is visible. It was used in China to depict the sea on ancient maps.

Dimensions 1.5" x 0.75"

The bail is silver-plated brass with a lacquer finish to protect it and to minimize tarnishing.

NOTE: The dichroic glass used in this design varies from silver to silver-red. Also, there is variation in the pattern used from piece to piece. In other words, may not look like photo!

The BRIGHT MOSAIC line is like mosaic work -- an assemblage of different-colored, different-shaped glass is arranged and fired together to become one piece. The pendants and earrings are then selectively cut from this mosaic sheet and fired again to make the final piece. Dichroic and patterned glass are used in combination with solid colored glass to add some brightness and sparkle to the piece.

We met in Andalucia. Partly because of a dog. And we traveled all over Spain that first year and as we went we read a book out loud together called "Momo."

Later on, when we started working together and putting names to things, the title of that book resurfaced, bubbling with meaning. If you'd like to know why, you should read it yourself. But without giving it away: It is an allegorical story that asks big questions about work and time and modern life.

We haven't figured out the answers to any of those questions yet. But the asking of them guides us from one day to the next as we make these tiny little things and hang them on your ear to wear.
