Cloisonne Enamel Pendant Lotus Flower Necklace. One day while doing my home yoga practice an image of a lotus with an Om symbol was the image that I kept seeing. Here it is manifested so I could share it with you!Using the technique cloisonne enamel makes the om symbol portion of this pendant. It entails carefully bending pure silver ribbons of wire and fusing them to a pure silver surface with clear enamel. The following layers of enamel are colored and can take up to 20 times and firings in a kiln. After all the firings are complete the enamel om gets sanded down so the wires are flush to the glass. The next step is the om gets sanded to a high polish, which gives a gorgeous effect of depth and translucency to the glass enamel.
