Cloisonné Enamel Owl Brooch Pair (Green and Red)

***A vibrant owl in cloisonné enamel, boasting the unique luster and color of this traditional craft!** This is not your typical traditional cloisonné; it features the modern, warm design of Uncle Z. Owls are considered auspicious creatures, believed to bring good fortune. They are associated with 'never suffering' (a homophone for owl), academic success, and prosperity in business. These charming owls are brilliantly brought to life using the freehand enameling technique. The belly area is adorned with colorful glazes and aurora glass, creating a fantastical scene reminiscent of a storybook. The entire outline is crisply defined with gold accents, making it resemble a jewel-shaped owl. Each piece is carefully handcrafted by experienced artisans, from cutting the copper plate and shaping it by hand, to applying the enamel and firing it in the kiln. As a result, the colors and expressions vary subtly with each creation. The charm of this cloisonné brooch lies in its uniqueness; no two are exactly alike. It serves as a lovely accent for simple dresses or knitwear, and is also perfect for securing scarves. The brooch clasp is a secure, lockable type for a firm hold. Your name, initials, or a personal message can be added to the back. Additionally, by adding hardware, it can be used as a pendant as well. Please inquire at the time of purchase. --- The photos shown are of a sample item. This product is made to order. Size: 48mm (width) x 15mm (depth) x 41mm (height) Weight: Approx. 11g
