A Chinese pendant, made of porcelain enamel and a Cornelian stone embedded in it. Cornelian is a semi- precious gemstone, highly valued since the times of Ancient Assyria and Greece and is one of the stones thought to be the Odem, one of the twelve stones found on the Hoshen (the sacred garment worn by the High priest of the Temple of Jerusalem). Enamel, a material made by fusing powdered glass, originating from ancient Egypt, was known also in India and China. This piece is an intersection between east and west, antique and modern, for the lovers of Chinese jewelry design.
