50 - 8mm Round Vintage Red Cloisonne Beads - Fully Drilled - Beautiful

Description

This auction is offering 50 vintage Pretty Red Cloisonne Beads.   They are 8mm round.  Beads are fully drilled.   Beads are a pretty red with colors of pinks, red and greens and then trimmed with gold.   As you can see from my pictures, these beads are very detailed.   Quality made.  These beads are all in unused excellent condition.
The art form of making cloisonne is time consuming and you can't get this quality today unless you pay a ton of money. The new cloisonne is more a painting on than true glass filled cloisons which these are! The decoration is formed by first adding compartments (cloisons in French[1]) to the 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.   These are HAND made and each a little unique piece of art work!
All auctions are 100% or your money back.
