Cloisonné Brooch: Owl Pair (Wisteria Purple)

***A vibrant owl, showcasing the exquisite colors and luster unique to cloisonné enamel!** This design by Uncle Z offers a fresh take on traditional cloisonné, presenting a modern and warm aesthetic. Owls are considered auspicious creatures, believed to bring good fortune. They are often associated with "no hardship" (a homophone for owl in Japanese), wisdom, and prosperity. These charming owls are vividly brought to life using the wireless cloisonné technique. The belly area features a fantastical scene, reminiscent of a storybook, with colorful enamels and aurora glass creating a magical effect. Golden lines define the overall contour, making the owl resemble a jeweled treasure. Each piece is carefully crafted by seasoned artisans, from hand-cutting and hammering the copper base to applying the enamel and firing it in the kiln. This meticulous handwork ensures that the colors and expressions subtly vary, making each brooch unique. The charm of this cloisonné brooch lies in its individuality. It serves as a lovely accent for simple dresses or knitwear, and is also perfect for securing scarves. The brooch features a secure locking clasp to ensure it stays in place. Personalization options are available, including adding a name, initial, or message to the back. You can also inquire about adding a bail to use it as a pendant.
