Cloisonné Brooch - Large Owl - Red

***Vibrant owls in brilliant colors and a lustrous sheen, unique to cloisonné enamel!** Ankle Z's design offers a departure from traditional cloisonné, presenting a modern and warm aesthetic. Owls are considered auspicious symbols, believed to bring good fortune. They are often associated with "no hardship" (a play on words), wisdom, and prosperity. We've vividly captured these beloved creatures using the wireless cloisonné technique. The owl's belly is adorned with a palette of colorful glazes, creating a whimsical, storybook-like scene. The entire outline is crisply defined with gold accents, making it resemble a jewel-shaped charm. Every step—from hand-cutting the copper plates and shaping them with gentle hammering, to applying the glazes and firing them in the kiln—is executed with care by our seasoned artisans. This meticulous manual process ensures that each piece possesses subtle variations in color and expression. 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 features a secure locking clasp for a firm hold. Personalization is also available with names, initials, or messages on the back. Additionally, with the addition of a fitting, it can be worn as a pendant.
