Description

  • Stand of fan shape enameled beads with floral design, 15x24mm
  • 26 beads per strand, these lightweight beads make fun earrings and add horizontal interest to long necklaces
  • In cloisonné, copper filaments are glued or soldered to a metal surface to create tiny compartments, or cloisons, that are then filled with ground glass blended with metallic oxides to produce colorful enamels, and fired. After the enameling phase, the object is polished, and any exposed metal is plated gold or silver color.
  • The enameling process is similar to cloisonne, but newer, and faster with fewer steps in the process and because both the base material and the enamel are lighter so are the beads.
