Cloisonné Enamel Series: "A Cat in the Ocean" Sterling Silver Necklace

Cloisonné enamel is an intricate craft, akin to using metal as a canvas for artistic creation. The process generally begins by firing powdered enamel onto the metal to form a glass-like base layer. Patterns are then meticulously painted beneath a glaze, followed by a final transparent enamel layer that acts as a protective coating. This involves repeated firing and meticulous cleaning to ensure a smooth enamel surface. As each cloisonné enamel piece is a unique work of art, these enamel accessories are also highly valuable collectibles, representing the culmination of numerous trials, adjustments, and creative endeavors.
