Renaissance Cloisonné

Renaissance cloisonné is a decorative technique used in jewelry and small artworks during the Renaissance period. It involves creating intricate designs with thin metal strips, called cloisons, which are applied onto a metal base to form compartments. These compartments are then filled with colorful glass or enamel. When fired, the enamel melts and fuses within the metal borders, resulting in vibrant, detailed embellishments. This method allowed artisans to produce richly colored and finely detailed pieces, blending metalwork and glass artistry, and was valued for its beauty and craftsmanship during the Renaissance era.
