Fun-Fun-Fun!What I offer here is 33" necklace composed of Vintage Carved 15mm Cinnabar with floral carving, and featuring a large, two sided carved, Cloisonne elephant 3"The beautiful elephant pendant that is featured this necklace, was made by 2 different types of artists in old China.1st came the artists who carved the Cinnabar which was then transferred to the cloisonne artist who embedded the lovely flower enamelwork into the pendant.There are 8 steps to formin...g the enamel work (please look at my bead forming picture, it's the same process).So together with the Cinnabar work (at least 3 steps)-it takes 12 steps to create this work of art.This type of art was passed on from generation to generation.In China of our days, the young generation is no longer interested in this kind of work, but as you can imagin, prefer hi-tech.So what remains are the items that are circulating in the market and thoseare now collectors items.This stunning black cord necklace is 33" long with a lovely, typical Chinese knot design .The pendants are 2 sided, inlaid with cloisonne work So very Chinese.Beads are approx 15mm.
