Cloisonné
|
Cloisonné lapel pins are die-struck from a copper bronze surface. Cloisonne lapel pins have the greatest perceived value and a jewelry-like finish.
|
|
A die is created to imprint your design into
the metal. The outline of the pin 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 1,700 F for two to four minutes. This
two step process insures that bleeding of colors does not occur. Next,
the pins are individually hand polished and then gold or silver plated,
which makes them resistant to scratching. Then each pin is inspected
to ensure only the highest quality is individually packaged and sent
to us for final inspection.
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.
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 cloisonné.

The Making of Classic Cloisonne
- STEP 1 A reverse image die is crafted and individually struck into the blank copper pieces. The recessed areas will allow the image to be color filled. The raised areas will appear as the detail and the "dividing walls" will separate the different colors.
- STEP 2 Each copper or bronze piece is then cut to the exact outline of the design. This is accomplished by making the cutting dies or piercing tools if a center hole cut is required.
- STEP 3 Cloisonne powder is mixed with a liquid to create a paste-like mixture. The first cloisonne color (pink) is filled into the specific recessed areas restricted by the "dividing walls" so that there is no "bleeding" or "running" of colors together.
- STEP 4 Each piece is fired at nearly 1700 degrees F in order to melt the powdered Cloisonne paint.
- STEP 5 Each color is filled in its specified area and fired before the next color is filled.
- STEP 6 Although step 6 appears as if there is bleeding of color together, the colors do not run together because the firings harden the cloisonne pigments to prevent any other colors from entering the recessed area.
- STEP 7 The excess cloisonne pigments (now hardened from the firing) are ground away by hand using a pumice stone wheel. Each piece is polished down to the level of the base metal (see the use of the base metal as "dividing walls", detail, and lettering).
- STEP 8 Each piece is polished a final time with a softer polishing wheel in order to bring out the highest degree of luster and smoothness.
- STEP 9 The final step, before packaging, is plating. Each piece is attached to "hanging tree" which is dipped into the specified plating material (gold or silver). The plating adheres to the exposed base metal thus converting all of the "dividing walls", detail, and lettering to gold in the example shown.
