Hard Cloisonné
Also known as cloisonné enamel, is a centuries old decorative art form of applying enamel of all colors to a copper or bronze object molded into the required shape. The pattern areas, outlined by a wire-like form, are filled with powdered colored glass and hard fired at1400 - 1500 degrees, then cooled and another color added and fired again. Finally the piece is cooled, hand ground by wet stone then polished and heated to bring back the full luster of the glass. The item is then plated and inspected. This process is now called “hard cloisonné”.

Soft Cloisonne
The soft enamel cloisonné is a similar process but uses a softer enamel and is kiln fired to bring out the luster of the enamel. The softer enamel can be used to produce more elaborate patterns and color matches with a wide variety of colors available. The soft cloisonnéprices are about 10% less than hard cloisonné.
