Wings of Noor – Cloisonné Butterfly 18K Gold Pendant

This pendant is a radiant tribute to timeless Chinese artistry — crafted through the ancient Cloisonné enamel technique, a process rooted in patience, presence, and devotion.

Each piece begins with copper wirework, shaped by hand into delicate outlines — a technique known as 掐丝 (qià sī). These outlines form the butterfly’s elegant wings, which are then carefully filled with natural mineral enamel, layer by layer, using vibrant colors that shimmer with depth and light.

The piece is fired multiple times at high temperatures to fuse the enamel into a smooth, glass-like finish. Once cooled, it is polished by hand until it gleams. Finally, 18K gold plating is applied to enhance its richness, and it is adorned with genuine freshwater pearls and zircon gemstones, adding a graceful, luminous touch.

Entirely handmade, this pendant takes many hours to complete — a labor of love that mirrors the spiritual beauty of dhikr itself.

✨ What is Cloisonné Enamel?

Cloisonné  is one of China’s most treasured traditional crafts — a harmonious blend of metalwork and fire-born color, passed down for over 600 years. Thin filaments of copper are carefully shaped into intricate patterns, forming tiny “cloisons” or compartments. Into each space, powdered enamel — made from ground minerals — is gently placed, layer by layer. Then, the piece is fired in a kiln at high heat, causing the enamel to melt and fuse into a brilliant, glass-like surface. Finally, it's polished by hand until it shines with vivid clarity.

This ancient art demands stillness, patience, and presence — virtues that echo the essence of dhikr (remembrance of God). Each wire bent, each color filled, every moment spent waiting for the kiln to cool — it’s a quiet act of remembrance, of surrender, of beauty created through process.

Cloisonné is a return to mindfulness. It’s a reminder that beauty comes not just from what we make, but how we make it — with soul, with time, and with heart.
