✦ PROVENANCE & COLLECTOR NOTE
Cloisonné is one of the oldest and most painstaking decorative arts in the world — a technique in which thin metal wires are bent into patterns and filled with colored enamel, then fired and polished until the surface glows like stained glass. The box is a small 0.5-inch cube with an open interior allowing light to pass through. Suspended on a 24-inch chain accented with deep, dark, rich, faceted glass beads with cloisonné inlay, it is a piece that holds both beauty and memory.✦ CONDITION
Excellent — Glass beads are not chipped, cloisonné inlay is fully intact with no lifting or loss, and the barrel clasp functions perfectly.✦ DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS

✦ GRACE NOTE
Some pieces are pretty, and then there are pieces that carry a quiet story. This cloisonné beaded necklace is the latter. The hand-cloisanne enamel blooms invite memory to linger — a garden seen from a window, a color remembered from somewhere beautiful. It is the kind of necklace that a granddaughter will one day hold up to the light and ask about, and you will have a very good answer.
