7x9mm, Oval, Blue, Twisted Wire, Cloisonne Beads Goldtone Finish Extender Rings for No Tangle Construction Fillagree Our Father Bead Caps Gold Plated, Pewter Open Heart, Miraculous Medal Center Gold Plated, Pewter Fillagree Crucifix Overall Length: 25-1/2" Item #500 Cloisonne is created by affixing a metal wire to the base bead (porcelain in this case) to act as a color separater. A twisted wire was used here which affords a bit of texture to the bead. A powdered, colored, glass paste is then painted between the partitions. After a firing and polishing process, the bead is electroplated in a gold or silver film, giving life to a beautiful bead. This, or any of the cloisonne bead rosaries, would make a thoughtful and beautiful gift. Think of it for birthdays, Mother's Day, anniversary, etc., etc. International orders are welcome! Orders paid by personal check will be held for shipment until check clears. All Rosaries in my store have been personally handmade by me. See our other rosaries at JRMrosaries.com
