CLOISONNÉ NECKLACES
Our cloisonné
beads are not the "new" (rough) beads you now see on the
market. These are VINTAGE, SMOOTH, made in the old-school
traditional style that we strongly prefer for their quality and
wearability. The factory in China is closed, no more are being
made!
How cloisonné beads are made in China
A copper bead is created
with hammering and welding. Cells (cloisonné) of wire are created and
soldered on each bead. they are filled with enamel and fired in a kiln,
then three or more thin layers of enamel are added and fired, never a thick
layer or the enamel will bubble up and burn. Initial grinding is done to
smooth the enamel down to the wire outlining, then it is polished and polished
again to a high shine. Finally, 24k gold electroplating is performed to
make each cell outline in gold. What a process for a single
bead! Enjoy this ride through China...
