Cloisonné is decoration formed by first adding compartments to a metal object by soldering or adhering silver or gold wires or thin strips placed on their edges.
These remain visible in the finished piece, separating the different compartments of the enamel or inlays, which are often of several colors.
Cloisonné enamel objects are worked on with enamel powder made into a paste, which then needs to be fired in a kiln.
