Item Description

This artful gift brings in the rich blues and greens of nature.  

The note inside the beautiful wooden boxed pin reads:

Jewlery & Accessory "Cloisonne", with its charming and unique watery gloss, has been know to have existed way back since the days of ancient Egypt, and her in Japan during the days of the Nara Era.  Cloisonne is a product that is being made with a metalic base, coated with a special glazed pigment, and backed by placing in etiher a gas or electric oven.  There  is no other color that an match the beautiful gloss of this unique pigment, whtic in the past, even the process, used to be a complete secret.  With such a tradition in its background, it is now kept as priceless art of the modern days.  The coolness bestowed by its tradition, combined with its modern sense, make the Cloisonne Jewlery match  whatever dress it is worn on, regardless of the season or atmosphere it is surrounded in, but contrasting well the personal character of its owner.  And it will even fit perfectly on the less worn Kimonos.
