Material

We believe that a pendant with such a rich cultural history deserves to be forged from authentic, high-quality metals. The main body and one half of the face are crafted from 100% solid .925 sterling silver, providing a brilliant shine and a strong foundation. The other half of the face is made from genuine, rich copper, creating a stunning two-tone effect that will develop a unique patina over time. The .925 trademark stamp on the back is your guarantee of quality.

The Story Behind the Craftsmanship

A design with this much mythological character and intricate detail can only be born from skilled hands. Our master silversmiths start with solid silver and copper and meticulously hand-carve the fierce features of the Oni mask. They focus on creating a sharp, defined look, from the angry brows to the pointed fangs. The two metals are then expertly joined and polished to create the seamless, split-face design. This is not mass production; this is wearable folklore, forged with a deep respect for its legendary origins.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What does the Oni mask symbolize in Japanese culture? In Japanese folklore, Oni are powerful demons or ogres that are often seen as forces of nature. While they can be fearsome, they are also seen as protectors against true evil. Wearing an Oni mask can symbolize harnessing a powerful, protective force and warding off bad luck.

2. Does this pendant come with a chain? This pendant is sold on its own to allow you to pair it with your favorite chain. Its bail is designed to be substantial enough to accommodate a variety of chain styles and widths.

3. How do I care for the different metals (silver and copper)? To clean, you can gently polish the silver parts with a soft, silver-polishing cloth. The copper will naturally develop a patina (darken) over time, which many people appreciate as it adds to the pendant's character. Avoid harsh chemical dips, as they can alter the beautiful patina of the copper.
