Enamels 7

JSE-PC06-448 Contemporary Chinkunga

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 is from the Tribal Mask line. It features a focal cabochon of cloisonné. The cab that represents the face is a freeform design measuring 42 x 26 mm and featuring transparent shades of scarlet red, blue, fuchsia, aqua and jet black. The cloisonné has a fine silver base and wires and it is set in a fine silver bezel. The face is framed with a sterling silver back plate that has been fabricated to form the top part of the mask, with sterling balls finishing each of the tips in the design. Overall dimensions are 57 x 53 mm. The bail is constructed with low-dome sterling wire. The back and front are textured. The entire piece is depletion silvered and burnished. The cloisonné and the pendant were designed and hand fabricated by J. S. Ellington and the piece is one of a kind. 

The Italian 8-sided sterling snake chain is included. 

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.

The gorgeous color depth cannot be appreciated from a photo! It is very hard to get enough light on the piece to show its life without having a hot spot or light reflection. The colors in this piece are lighter and brighter than shown in the photo. This pendant match the colors in Sidamo Battle Shield Earrings.
