Vision
As seen in the Spring in Andalucia, the Cloisonné Earrings reference the designs of the flame-vine, bird of paradise and jasmine flowers. Embodying our vision of spring, the earrings are re-interpreted into various colours.
Technique
Cloisonné is a technique that is believed to have originated in Ancient Egypt. The French term refers to a form of artisanal decoration in which fine strips of metal are applied to a metal surface in closed shapes called cloisonnés. Multiple thin layers of enamel are individually applied into the cloisonnés and the piece is fired in the kiln after each application.
