Cloisonné is a
very different technique from my usual champlevé.

inlaid, in cloisonné the design is created with wire and the
enamel is built up on the metal. Typically cloisonné has many

the latter) and is consequently more expensive. The fine lines
create a more delicate and subtle design compared to the
boldness of champlevé.
The cloisonné
jewellery series is based on an artifact from France:
