Description

One look at this necklace and you will simply have to have it!

The bold contrasting colors and length make it the perfect accessory for everything from casual to evening attire.  This necklace is long, and is hand-knotted between the beads.  Local artist Karen Duffy has been a big supporter of UAF, and all of her pieces are incredibly beautiful, of the finest quality, and made with love for the animals.

Cloisonne is the term used to describe a method of decorating metal with enamel. Metal filaments (wire or thin strips of metal known as the cloisons)are fused to the surface of an object to outline a design which is then filled with enamel paste. The name cloisonne comes from the French word meaning "to partition." Although it probably originated in the Middle East, the French, Japanese and Chinese have perfected this art form.

This is a Live Event Item.
