✷ CLOISONNÉ WIRE ✷
Cloisonné is a technique that dates back to the 11th century, originally used to decorate metalwork objects. A process in which coloured material such as cut gemstones and glass are separated by strips of Cloisonné, typically gold and silver. In recent years it is more common for Cloisonné to be utilized in enamel jewellery, where the coloured enamel is separated by strips of either gold or silver Cloisonné. Our Cloisonné is polished after is has been shaped to ensure a bright lustre.

✷ MORE INFO✷
Cloisonné is bent into shapes that define the coloured areas. The bends are all done at right angles, so that the wire does not curve up. This is done with small pliers, tweezers, and custom-made jigs. The cloisonné wire pattern may consist of several intricately constructed wire patterns that fit together into a larger design. Solder can be used to join the wires, but this causes the enamel to discolour and form bubbles later on. Most existing Byzantine enamels have soldered cloisonné, however the use of solder to adhere the cloisonné wires has fallen out of favour due to its difficulty, with the exception of some "purist contemporary enamellists" who create fine watch faces and high quality very expensive jewellery. Instead of soldering the cloisonné to the base metal, the base metal is fired with a thin layer of clear enamel. The cloisonné wire is glued to the enamel surface with gum tragacanth. When the gum has dried, the piece is fired again to fuse the cloisonné wire to the clear enamel. The gum burns off, leaving no residue.

This commitment to quality, combined with the sustainability of recycled metals, makes Australian precious metals the ideal choice for eco-friendly, ethically conscious fine jewellery production.
Sustainable precious metals are revolutionizing the fine jewellery industry, offering an eco-friendly and ethical alternative that resonate with environmentally aware consumers seeking high-quality materials that align with their values.
Recycled precious metals are the perfect blend of beauty, durability, and sustainability. By incorporating recycled gold, silver, and platinum into production, manufacturers reduce the environmental impact typically associated with traditional mining practices. Using reclaimed metals not only helps preserve natural resources but also minimizes carbon emissions and energy consumption, ensuring that every piece of jewellery crafted contributes to a greener future.
This eco-conscious approach not only conserves natural resources but also lowers carbon emissions and energy usage, making every piece of jewellery a greener, more sustainable choice.
