Silver, Red & Blue Enamel Butterfly Brooch

50G
Written by Olly Gerrish

A lovely pale blue and red enamel silver butterfly brooch. The enamel technique here is called cloisonné which is an ancient technique for decorating metalwork objects. The decoration is formed by first adding compartments (cloisons in French) to the metal object by soldering or affixing silver wires or thin strips placed on their edges. These remain visible in the finished piece, separating the different compartments of the enamel.
