#C02-441 Purple Fantasy-sold

Description: This exquisite one-of-a-kind collector's piece will enchant you to your very soul! The majesty of the ancient technique of cloisonné enamel is further enhanced by the exceptional design artistry.
This pendant features a focal cabochon of cloisonné enamel. The enamel cab is a trillion design measuring 50 mm and featuring transparent shades of navy, purple, lavender and pink. The cloisonné has a fine silver base and wires and it is set in a fine silver bezel. A forged sterling wire meanders above, across, and beneath the pendant. The accenting faceted stones are two natural Pink Tourmaline (3 mm and 4 mm) and one lab-created Blue Sapphire (6 mm), all tube set in sterling.
Overall dimensions are 70 x 38 mm. The bail is low-dome sterling wire. The cloisonné and the pendant were designed and hand fabricated by J. S. Ellington and the piece is one of a kind. The 16-inch 4-mm flat sterling omega with lobster clasp is included.
The back is stamped with JSE initials and sterling quality stamp.
The pendant is sold with a black velvet bag with the J. S. Ellington logo which is inside a white cardboard packer. An anti-tarnish square is included. A signed and numbered certificate is provided in a packet which also includes care instructions.
Enamel in its dry form is a glass powder somewhat finer than granulated sugar. A base coat of enamel is fired onto the metal base in a kiln. The base is usually fine silver, fine gold, or copper. Fine silver or fine gold (24K) cloisonné wires (and in some cases copper) are shaped and positioned onto the base coat. The wires are fired in place and subsequently the cells are packed with multiple layers of enamel, with firing between each layer, converting the layers to solid glass. The beautiful depth in the enamel piece is created by the layering and by blending and shading the colors in each layer. As many as 20 firings are required in some cases. The gorgeous color depth cannot be appreciated from a photo!
Modern technology has enabled scientists to duplicate natural gems in a laboratory environment. The terms synthetic and lab-created describe a stone that has been manufactured so that its composition is virtually the same as that of its natural counterpart.
Be sure to differentiate the terms above from the term “simulated,” which means imitation.
The lab-created gems do not display lack of color clarity and do not have imperfections that some of the natural gems exhibit.
Lab-created stones allow the artist to employ the colors of some precious stones without having a prohibitive cost in the finished piece.
The use of a lab-created stone should be disclosed, but then it is your secret to share or to keep to yourself.
Most jewelry lovers will own both natural and lab-created stones.
