Imitation Cloisonne

Imitation Cloisonné was developed in an effort to produce very similar quality to Cloisonné, faster production time, a more economical price and the distinct advantage of being able to match Pantone colors, which the cloisonné method can not reproduce exactly. The base metal is raised as fine lines to separate the colors so they will not flow together and provides contrast in the design. Also similar to Cloisonné, Imitation enamel has a hard, glasslike, jewelry type appearance and provides a smooth, shiny finish.
