Hollow Metal Beads, Plain or Enamelled of really oriental appearance. The elaborate colours & shapes combine well with plain coloured glass, porcelain beads or semi-precious beads. The sharp edges of some of these beads can fray soft threads. Beads E, F & G are rather heavy, so the best threading material is tigertail.

Enamelled and Cloisonné Beads. Cloisonné is a type of enamelling in which a wire design is fused onto the metal base and the cells (cloisons) so formed in between are filled with different colours of enamel. Sometimes several layers of enamel are applied and polished in between, until the decoration is flush with the surface of the bead. Cloisonné drops (G) – thread these onto wire pins to make very pretty earring pendants.
