Recommended Accessories Featuring Lace

May 3, 2025

I’ve been creating accessories using lace for quite some time now.

The obi ornament (netsuke) in the photo above combines a flower-shaped motif with resin and is embroidered with Czech beads. This piece was made quite a while ago, and I recently brought it back to the store. Seeing it again, I felt nostalgic and thought, “It’s still adorable.”

Back when I first made it, I hesitated, thinking it might be too large. However, nowadays, large earrings aren’t so uncommon, so I believe it would look lovely as earrings just as it is. Plus, since it’s made of lace, it’s lightweight.

With that in mind, today I’d like to introduce a few items that incorporate lace.

Hairpin (Kanzashi)

This kanzashi features a lace flower adorned with howlite, creating a charming dangling decoration. It’s a “removable kanzashi,” meaning the decorative part can be detached, allowing you to replace the wooden stick if it breaks.

Earrings

These earrings combine ring-shaped lace with freshwater pearls, resulting in a delicate and beautiful design. Though they are large, they remain lightweight.

Hair Tie

This hair tie showcases a butterfly-shaped ornament with a flower-shaped lace dangling beneath it—a delightful combination of flowers and butterflies.
