All cloisonne beads are made with gold wire and enamel with silver wire. Cloisonne is an enameling technique in which thin wire partitions (called, cloisons) are filled with enamel.  This technique is very old, and was practiced in ancient Byzantium and China.  First, delicate strips of copper wire are bent to create a design, then are placed and soldered onto the bead's surface.  Next, the spaces are filled with different colored enamels.  Finally, the bead is fired and polished several times to produce the desired effect. 

We provide an extensive range of cloisonne beads in different shapes (round, tube, diamond, fish, butterflies, fan, etc) and colours.
