About this design:
I found this Cloisonne puffed coin bead on a bead supply site. Cloisonne beads are made using an ancient metalworking technique (also called Cloisonne) which is a multi-step enamel process, the end result are beautiful and colorful works of art. So I wire wrapped it to make a colorful ring
Components:
Cloisonne bead, copper wireAdditional Images:
