Cloisonné + Pearl - Blue

14k heavy gold plate (1 micron gold plating for durability) Sold as a Pair Handmade in our Le Serey studio Signature stamped for authenticity    About Cloisonné: Our Cloisonné is made by artisans in Beijing who have been perfecting their art for generations. Dating back to the 13th Century, the ancient art of Cloisonné was some of the first to be exported from East to West among French and Chinese traders. Each bead takes approximately four hours to make from start to finish, as artisans solder copper wires to the surface of each bead and then carefully add enamel color to the surface. After color is applied, each piece is placed in a kiln where the fire reveals intricate designs and patterns. To finish, artisans carefully polish each piece to create a smooth surface, resulting in a truly unique and handcrafted piece of jewelry!
