A delightfully delicate floral oriental ornamentation is on the surface of this cloisonne 14x24mm fan bead which is a similar affect to stained glass windows. They are made using copper wire which is coiled in the required design and soldered on the surface of a metal bead. Coloured enamel is then painted with in the different cells and fired hard before polishing. The exposed copper wire is then plated in silver or gold.
