Tourmaline Cross Pendant

£280.00

Cinnamon brown and snow white cloisonné enamel detail is hand-painted on this tourmaline cross alongside a micro-mosaic of Indian seed pearls. The Byzantine style is reminiscent of jewellery that might have been worn by fabled woman such as, Hypatia of Alexandria or Empress Theodora.
Cloisonné is an ancient technique (c. 12th century B.C.) used to decorate metal. The decoration uses fine gold wires to separate the different hand-painted enamel compartments and is set by firing in a kiln.

In antiquity, the cloisonné technique was used for jewellery, small clothes fittings, and weapons. In the Byzantine Empire, the technique was used for pictorial images, mostly religious images and jewellery. In 14th century China this enamel technique was used for bowls and vases.
