Forget Me Never Earrings



Lovely blue cloisonné flower with sparkling Swarovski crystal accents and amber yellow faceted glass drops dangle from silver-plated (over surgical steel) hooks.

I also have surgical steel, sterling silver, or Niobium hooks available on request if needed for sensitive ears, as well as little earring backings for folks who want them. Just let me know in Notes To Seller when purchasing.

Cloisonné is an enameling technique in which thin wire partitions (called, cloisonné) are filled with enamel. This technique is very old, and was practiced in ancient Byzantium and China. First, delicate strips of copper wire are bent to create a design, then are placed and soldered onto the bead's surface. Next, the spaces are filled with different colored enamels. Finally, the bead is fired and polished several times to produce the desired effect.
