CLOISONNE NECKLACES
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...
