But what exactly is cloisonne and what does it mean? Cloisonne is an ancient artwork technique that is used to decorate metalwork objects. Early on this was done with glass and gemstones, and it is now often done with enamel. It was first developed in the Near East as early as the 12th century and was often used to decorate jewelry. The process involves adding compartments made from metal wires that will hold the inlaid gems or enamel. The process was perfected by the Chinese, and is now used the world over for decorating fine art, décor, and cloisonne urns.
