Original Message:   Cloisonné

I received this cloisonne bead as a gift in the early '70s. I spent several years gathering beads to compose with it, all reflecting the colors of the enamel. My goal was to find stone (or non-glass) beads that would match or compliment the enamel colors—and I included cinnabar, rose quartz, bone, sodalite, and every green or bluish-green beads I could find in matched pairs. Between the beads are East African brass disks (giryama), that represent the cloisonnes of the enamel bead. As a Pisces, I collect all sorts of fish beads and pendants, but this is one of my favorites. JDA. Copyright 2024 All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users
