Mother-of-pearl spoons
Mother-of-pearl spoons
Arrives in 4 to 12 business days Duties and taxes included.
The spoon is cut from jagae (자개) — mother-of-pearl, the iridescent inner layer of shell, and the same material used in najeon, the Korean craft of inlaying mother-of-pearl into lacquer. The pattern marbles naturally through the bowl and handle, so the swirl falls differently on each one.
At 12cm it suits caviar, yogurt, jam, or dessert. Mother-of-pearl doesn't oxidize, so it carries delicate food without adding a metallic note.
Each spoon is finished by hand, so small variations in pattern, color, size, and surface are part of the material rather than flaws. This is the white colorway, sold in sets of two or four; because the marbling is natural, no two spoons in a set match exactly.

Things people ask
Will I have to pay customs or import taxes?
No. Every order ships DDP (Delivered Duty Paid). All applicable duties and taxes are built into the product price, so your parcel arrives with nothing more to pay.
How long until it arrives?
We need 1 to 5 business days to confirm with the studio and prepare your order. Korea Post EMS is 3 to 7 business days in transit. Made-to-order pieces take 5 to 10 business days to prepare; we note this on the product page.

Within 1 hour of ordering, yes. After that we'll try, but we forward orders to studios in Korea within 24 hours, so it depends on whether preparation has started. Email contact@shopsoodam.com right away.
