Our Cloisonne pins continue the fine-art tradition
of glass enameling, started in China centuries ago. The pins are
made from hand-pouring powdered glass into the recesses of a die-struck
(stamped) brass base. After being baked at a very high temperature,
the glass enamel is sanded and polished to be flush with the metal
lines that separate the colors. This gives the pins a smooth and
lustrous quality.
