ANTIQUE STUDIO ARTISAN MADE STERLING SILVER ENAMEL CLOISONNE ROSE BROOCH PIN:
$32.99

THIS BROOCH WAS MADE IN THE 1950\'S (I KNOW THAT BECAUSE IT BELONGED TO MY GREAT AUNT), AND IT FEATURES A BEAUTIFUL, CAREFULLY DESIGNED CLOISONNE ROSE, WITH COLORS THAT LITERALLY JUMP OUT OFF OF IT. THE SILVER METAL DESIGN IS FIRST CREATED AND THEN LAYERS UPON LAYERS OF POWDERED GLASS IS POURED INTO THE RECESSES AND KILN FIRED. THIS PROCESS TAKES DAYS AT LEAST TO COMPLETE BECAUSE ONLY A THIN LAYER CAN BE FIRED EACH TIME, BUT IT GIVES THE EFFECT OF TRANSPARENT GLASS OPPOSED TO FLAT, MATTE LOOKING ENAMEL. THE GLASS IS ALL INTACT ALL THE WAY TO THE VERY EDGES. IT HAS A PALE PINK BACKGROUND WITH A ROYAL BLUE THAT FADES ON EACH PETAL TO A BRIGHT WHITE. THERE IS A YELLOW STAMEN PEEKING OUT THE HEART OF THE ROSE AND A FEW GREEN LEAVES FOR ACCENT. IT IS IN PERFECT CONDITION WITH NO DAMAGE OR DEFECTS. PICS MAKE IT LOOK SLIGHTLY DISCOLORED AROUND THE EDGES BUT IT IS NOT. IT HAS A CRINKLING EFFECT IN THE ENAMEL THAT IS PART OF THE DESIGN.
THIS BROOCH MEASURES 1.25\" BY 1.25\". PIN MECHANISM IS IN EXCELLENT WORKING CONDITION.
