Featuring a rare vintage raised cloisonné bead, intricately detailed with enamel floral motifs over a hand-sculpted surface, giving it beautiful dimension and texture. Each cloisonné bead is a tiny piece of art, created through an ancient process where metal wires form compartments that are filled with enamel and fired — a technique that dates back to the Byzantine Empire and was later perfected in China. The bead is strung on a 17-inch chain of rich green malachite beads, known for their protective energy and connection to personal transformation. Malachite has long been revered as a stone of protection and heart-healing, believed to absorb negativity and open the heart to new experiences.
