Green Cloisonne Earrings

The Green Cloisonne Earrings is a beautiful pair of earrings, featuring cloisonne beads in a deep green mossy color with leaves and flowers. These beads are attached to blue Chinese silk cording and hook earrings. About the History of Cloisonne: Cloisonne is a unique art form which originated in the country of Beijing during the Yuan Dynasty (this would be roughly around the years 1270 to 1360). During this period, the Emperor was mightily interested in bronze casting techniques. He then tweaked the technique a little, and after a processing breakthrough, the cloisonne was created. From then on, royal families commissioned cloisonne creation to almost everything conceivable - bottles, jars, urns, jewelry pieces and even caskets were made from the delicate art of cloisonne. An Asian heritage was born. The modern manufacturing of cloisonne is not as different or advanced as its predecessors - the combination of making bronze and porcelain ware, as well as those of traditional painting and sculpture is the cumulative effect in the creation of this lovely art.
