Set of 7 Cloisonné Bracelets: Complete Harmony and Luck

Description

Thin wires of metal hold pools of vivid color in place, enamel fixed by fire into patterns that repeat across the wrist.

Cloisonné is one of the oldest decorative enamel techniques, developed across several cultures and brought to China during the Yuan dynasty, where it flourished under imperial patronage into the Ming period. Artisans build up a design by soldering fine metal wires, called cloisons, to a metal base to form the outlines of a pattern, then fill each compartment with powdered glass enamel, fire the piece, and grind and polish the surface. The technique has been used for centuries to produce objects for ceremony and daily use alike.

Each bracelet in this set of seven is made using the cloisonné method on a metal base. Floral and auspicious motifs drawn from traditional Chinese iconography associated with good fortune are rendered in enamel across the surface of each piece. The seven bracelets are intended to be worn together, each carrying a distinct design within a coordinated palette.

This is a set of seven bracelets. Exact dimensions are not listed. The bracelets are handcrafted and designed for daily wear, sized to fit a standard adult wrist. Country of origin is not specified in the product information.

The cloisonné firing process produces a hard, durable enamel surface that holds color well over time. Minor variation between pieces is a natural characteristic of hand-production, making each set distinct.
