Vintage Cloisonné Earrings 7-24 update

Vintage Cloisonné Earrings 7-24 updateVintage cloisonn, oxidized sterling silver. I grew up collecting cloisonn with my mom at flea markets and estate sales. It was "her thing" these beads are a lovely quality and I just couldn't pass them up! As they say, they don't make them like they used to, and that is true with cloisonn as well. I enjoy the few pieces from my mom's collection every day. Earrings are 1 1 8"

I reflect on being told that coin pearls originated in a lake in Japan

yet easy to layer up

Some have more oxidation in the depth of the coils

Made from vintage molds

I have had these in my collection for a number of years

with an exceptional luster to them

Each stone will vary slightly in color

I just love their rugged edging

and to match for the earrings

Cloisonné

These pearls are so lustrous and catch the light beautifully with an intricate toggle clasp

They have such delicate intricacies and an East Indian feel to them
