Shades Of Aurum presents Q-KIN, our unique nanogold collection for versatile kintsugi applications.
Discover the timeless beauty of kintsugi, where broken materials are mended with luminous shades of nanogold, transforming imperfections into exquisite works of art. Embrace the philosophy of healing and renewal through our bespoke Shades Of Aurum nanogold Q-KIN collection.
BEAUTY BEYOND
BEAUTY BEYOND
Kintsugi is a Japanese art form of repairing broken pottery with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. It's considered a philosophy to celebrate the beauty of imperfection and embrace the history of an object. It is seen as a testament to its past and the events it has witnessed.
The use of gold and lacquer creates a visually striking effect, often resulting in a more beautiful and unique piece than the original.
With NSOYANI Shades Of Aurum, we offer an extension of this technique, into the domain of nanotechnology, to harness benefits that transcend beyond beauty, into functionality within pottery, microcement, decorative concrete, ceramic and porcelain tiles, marble, glass, wood and related surface designs.
Simply put, it is a new narrative.

In the world of nanotechnology, not all that glitters, is gold. With Q-KIN, we now take you into the world of quantum gold, to further perfect this art, with a unique touch.
Quantum Gold has nanoparticle sizes well below 20 nm (< 0.02 µm). It is not only known for its versatile benefits but also, it is not yellow in colour, like regular gold or large gold (nano)particles.

AESTHETICS : Q-KIN is a unique collection of gold nanomaterial, offered to enhance Kintsugi in terms of functionality and a new kind of aesthetic with gold, beyond the traditional yellow colour, with a variety of optical effects, induced by their nanoparticle size and defined crystal structure.
Q-KIN can be used on its own or blended with regular gold powders, to create special optical effects beyond a monotone yellow. Thin layers of our Q-KIN nanopowder can be used to create different shades of aurum, in a more sophisticated manner than alloying.
DURABILITY : The superfine Q-KIN nanoparticles are capable of penetrating the smallest and deepest of cracks and sub-micron pores in ceramic, glass, wood or porcelain, that regular gold powders cannot reach. Even those invisible to the human eye. This enables a superior adhesion and binding strength, improved mechanical stability, a smoother seal and finish, with less powder material.
VERSATILITY : Q-KIN nanopowder offers unique antimicrobial, anti-fungal, medicinal and water purification properties such as Mercury and lead (Pb) removal, from water.

Functional Surface Design for Wood & Glass
Functional Surface Design for Wood & Glass
Apply nanogold-infused finishes to wood and glass surfaces for enhanced beauty combined with antimicrobial and detoxifying properties.
The water purification properties of the nanopowder are a pleasant asset. Beyond aesthetics, nanogold adds real value with its ability to remove harmful substances such as Mercury and lead (Pb) from water.
Ceramic and Porcelain Tile Refinishing
Ceramic and Porcelain Tile Refinishing
Bring new life to ceramic and porcelain tiles with nanogold applications that improve appearance and provide water purification capabilities.
Elevate your Kintsugi projects to an entirely new level with this novel and versatile range of brilliant nanogold colours.
The antimicrobial properties of our nanogold adds durability, beautifies and improves the surface hygiene of your ceramic tiles. We highly recommended this design for health-conscious decorators. It's a game-changer for both art and functional applications.
Decorative Concrete & Microcement Enhancement
Decorative Concrete & Microcement Enhancement
Upgrade your stucco, microcement and decorative concrete surfaces using our Q-KIN nanopowder, adding both aesthetic brilliance and functional benefits.
This unique approach of combining traditional Kintsugi with superfine gold nanotechnology enhances both the aesthetics and durability and appearance of microcement repairs.
