Cloisonné Brooch Owl A (Medium - Red)

***A vibrant owl, adorned with the beautiful colors and luster unique to cloisonné enamel!** This is a design by Uncle Z, offering a modern and warm aesthetic, distinct from traditional cloisonné. Owls are considered auspicious creatures, believed to bring good fortune. They are associated with "never failing" (fukurou, a homophone), the god of learning, and prosperity in business. These fortunate owls are vividly rendered using the wireless cloisonné technique. The belly area features a palette of colorful enamels and aurora glass, creating a fantastical scene reminiscent of a storybook. The entire outline is crisply defined with gold detailing. It's like a jewel shaped like an owl. Each piece is carefully handmade by experienced artisans, from hand-cutting the copper plates and shaping them through hammering, to applying the enamel and firing it in the kiln. As a result, the colors and expressions subtly vary from one piece to another. The charm of this cloisonné brooch lies in its uniqueness; no two are exactly alike. It serves as a wonderful accent for simple dresses or knitwear, adding a touch of artistry. It's also perfect for securing scarves. The brooch clasp is a secure, locking type, ensuring a firm hold. Your name, initials, or a message can be added to the back. Additionally, by adding a bail, it can be worn as a pendant as well.
