Beautiful pink lotus blossom pendant handmade in cloisonne and fine silver. Pink enamels are particularly challenging and rare. This piece is made using enamels imported from Japan especially for the creation of fine jewelry.
Cloisonne is a time-consuming and intensive process of defining shapes with very small silver wires and then filling those shapes with colored grains of glass. Colors are built up slowly with multiple kiln firings at high temperatures.
All aspects of this pendant are handmade and one of a kind, from the initial conceptual sketch, to the enamel work, to the silver setting and the bale.

Large circle-shaped cloisonne enamel pendant in quadrants of black and white. The black quadrants are decorated with garnet-colored circles and grass-green teardrops. The white quadrants are decorated with aqua-colored triangles and purple rectangles. Each tiny shape is hand-formed from silver wire and hand-filled with grains of enamel before being fired repeatedly at 1500 degrees to melt and fuse the grains.
This completely unique piece was created in response to a technical challenge, and took many hours to complete! It will always be one of a kind!

This pendant is an abstract pattern of amber and orange shapes on a domed fine silver circle, with accents of 24k gold foil embedded in the amber enamel. The back is a glorious blue, and is a special mix of enamels designed to support the front of the metal through repeated hot firings.
The circle is just under an inch in diameter. The mounting and the bail are handmade from sterling silver, and from the top of the bail to the bottom of the pendant is 1 ¼ inches. The pendant itself weighs 5 grams. It is available with either a 16" or 18" commercially sourced rolo chain, included in the price quoted.

This unique and one-of-a-kind pendant is created by fusing vitreous enamel to copper in a very hot kiln. Once the base color is fused, pure gold foil shapes are carefully positioned by hand and fired down.
Once the enamel is complete, a faceted black bead is added using heavy gauge gold fill wire wrapping, and the entire lovely piece is suspended from a handmade Viking knit chain.
This piece, including the chain, weighs 13 grams. The enamel disc is a domed 1 inch copper circle. The entire pendant is about 1 ½ inches long.
