About this piece
This one-decade rosary bracelet showcases the delicate craftsmanship of cloisonné enamelling — a painstaking technique in which fine wires are soldered onto a metal base to create compartments, each filled with vitreous enamel and fired to fuse the colours permanently. The ten main beads and single chain bead are decorated with pink and white flowers and green leaves against a deep black ground, their surfaces worn to a soft, lived-in patina that speaks of gentle handling.
The matching cross pendant carries the same floral motif with a central red stone or enamel detail. The silver-tone chain and practical lobster clasp ensure secure wear. Dating to approximately the 1980s, the piece reflects a tradition of devotional jewellery that blends spiritual purpose with aesthetic care. The enamel work shows minor surface wear consistent with age and use, adding character without compromising integrity. This bracelet is ideal for personal wear or as a thoughtful gift for anyone who values handmade religious jewellery and traditional metalworking techniques.
