Description:
Vintage Cloisonne Enamel Butterfly necklace Chain maybe 14k gold. It is real gold but I don't know how much k. It a 30 long snake chain. The cloisonne Butterfly is beautifully done. It is vintage but well taken care of. The Cloisonn process First, the artist forms metal (such as copper or brass) into the shape of the finished object. A paper pattern and a pencil are used to transfer a design to the metal object. Partitions (French: cloisons) that act as color-separators are applied according to the transferred pattern and are held in place by a soldering paste (this is finely divided metal of low melting temperature in a flux paste). The partitions are bent and cut to length from flat wire stock (usually by hand using simple pliers) while the paste is applied with a small brush. Heating the piece in an oven permanently affixes the partitions to the base metal by melting the solder. The piece is then allowed to cool. Frit (glass crushed to a powder) in a water-based paste is painted into the partitions using an annotated pattern similar to the "paint by numbers" craft technique. After the frit has dried, firing in an oven melts it onto the metal. Several repetitions of the process may ensue to build up the coatings to the height of the partitions. Various colors and transparencies may be used in combination within a single partition to obtain the desired artistic effect. The glass and a portion of the cloisons are ground and polished to form an even and smooth surface. The exposed metal is electroplated with a thin film of gold to prevent corrosion and to give a pleasing appearance.We accept cash on pickup or by mail a check plus postage we don't ship until check clears, but we do ship.
