**Cloisonné  An art form originating in China in the 1200s. A painstaking process created by skilled artisans in which thin wire made of silver, gold, or copper is gilded, then bent to form separate cells (cloisonné). Each bead can take up to four hours to produce. Dozens of tiny cells are arranged on the bead surface, filled with enamel color and fired. Then, each bead is polished revealing intricate and beautiful designs.
