Cloisonné is an ancient technique for decorating
metal objects -- in recent centuries using enamel and in older periods
using inlays of cut gems, glass and other materials. The resulting art
forms can also be called cloisonné. The decoration is formed by first
adding compartments (cloisons in French) to the metal object by
soldering or otherwise adhering silver or gold wires. These remain
visible in the finished piece, separating the different compartments of
the enamel or inlays, which are often of several colors. Enamel is
applied, and the artwork is then fired in a kiln. Skilled artists can
create wonderful designs.
