Cloisonné is the term used to describe a method of decorating metal with enamel.
Thin wire made of precious and semi-precious metals (such as silver, gold, bronze
and copper) are blended and gilded, then bent to form dozens of tiny cells (cloisons)
which are fused to the surface of an object to outline a design. After each cell is filled
with enamel colour, the object is then fired and polished, revealing intricate and
beautiful designs. Each bead of these miniature masterpieces created by skilled artisans,
can take up to four hours to produce by hand.
(We have toured centuries-old Cloisonné factories in China... highly recommended!)
The images attached are examples of pieces we have had and/or currently have (we
