Not of my taste, pretty dull, if you ask me, maybe I will wear it with a black top, although whoever made it has worked hard on it. Maybe others will like it. Keep your hopes up.
These original cloisonne designs were drawn with flattened silver wire on a surface of enameled copper. Finely ground glass pigments were then mixed with water and applied to that surface and fused in a kiln at about 1400 f. There is a minimum of 8 separate firings per piece. Each one is then ground flat, re-fired and hand finished. Ear wires and findings are sterling silver.
After graduating with a BFA from Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia PA, I migrated out west. I did the usual restaurant stint and ended my career with food as a private cook. The woman I worked for showed me some cloisonne pieces she had made and I fell in love with the process. I have been privileged to sell my handcrafted cloisonne earrings, pins and pendants at the Pike Place Market in Seattle WA since 1984. You can find me there most Saturdays and 2 week days.
