Cloisonné is a way to decorate metal with enamels. Cloisonné beads are handmade and often take several hours to fully create.
Cloisonné is from the French word "cloisons" which means "compartments." Cloisonné is a way to make patterns of enamel on metal by putting the enamels in compartments. For the method of cloisonné used here, the compartments are made by shaping wire in the desired pattern, putting the wire on the metal, and then putting the enamels inside the cloisons made with the wire. The enamel is fired after each color is applied.
These beautiful barrel shaped beads are approximately 13mm x 10mm and have generous 1.5mm holes. Price is per bead. Beads are pre-owned and supply is limited.
