Cloisonné, an ancient metalworking technique, is a multi-step enamel process used to produce jewelry. Objects produced by this process are also called cloisonné. Cloisonné first developed in the Near East, spread to the Byzantine Empire, and from there along the Silk Road to China, Korea and Japan. The technique was also highly developed in Europe.
To produce cloisonné, patterns such as flowers or leaves are outlined with thin silver, copper or bronze wires glued or soldered to a metal base, forming cells (cloisons) which are then filled in with thick, colored enamel pastes. The object is fired at a low temperature to harden the enamel, and the surface is then ground smooth with abrasives and polished. Cloisonné techniques became highly refined during the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Cloisonné decorative items, jewelry and giftware continue to be very popular. Each piece is unique in design and hand crafted for it to be an original design all it's own.
