The technology of Cloisonne£º
The products have the greatest perceived value and a jewelry-like finish. It is said that cloisonne can be preserved for 100 years without fading because it is derived from mineral ore. This ancient art that developed over thousand years in China requires meticulous handcrafted details.
Majestic beauty is the tradition of the ancient Chinese art of cloisonne. Developed centuries ago in China for decorative purposes, the process is used today in crafting vases and fine and emblematic jewelry. Individually hand crafted from the initial die to the final polishing, this technique remains virtually unchanged to this day.
Owing to hard durable finish, cloisonne is best suited to make military badges, car badges, and athletic medals. They are also ideal for recognitions, achievement awards and important events.
Individually handcrafted with utmost precision and care, these pins are the most collectible variety of emblematic jewelry. Choose rich hues from a finite set colors associated only with cloisonne. While Cloisonne lapel pins may cost slightly more, they are well worth the extra few cents.
How They Are Made:
The products are die-struck from a copper, brass or bronze surface. A die is created to imprint your design into the metal. The outline of the product and any cut-outs are then cut with another mold. Colors are hand-filled with a powdered glass-like mixture. Colors are fired one at a time at 1,600 F for two to four minutes. This two step process insures that bleeding of colors does not occur. Next, the products are individually hand polished and then gold or silver (nickel) plated. Then each product is inspected to ensure only the highest quality is individually packaged and sent to us for final inspection.
