Hailing from an old tradition dating back centuries, these exquisite lacquer flower pins and pendants originate from the Russian villages of Palekh, Kholui, Fedoskino, and Mstera - places once known as a seat of icon painting. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, these villages organized the production of original lacquers painted in the old Russian style. Utilizing ancient secrets for these beautiful new forms of art, local painters created thousands of different styles of flower patterns. Each pin or pendant is hand-painted in oils on papier-mache, displaying brilliant arrangements of vivid flowers. And because they are each free-hand painted, no two pendants are exactly alike. An absolute marvel of craftsmanship and colorful expression. This is: Other Stones & materials - lacquer heart Pendants About 46mm Heart Pin - Style H09 per Piece
