[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 2173212, member: 2844"]They are both enamel. :) Cloisonné is when metal wires are soldered to a metal surface and the piece is enamelled in between the wires. Champlevé is when a design is cut out of a metal surface, and certain lines are left high. Then enamel is applied in the cut out parts, just like in cloisonné. These Thai rings are champlevé enamel. Cloisonné enamel: [IMG]https://www.startpage.com/av/proxy-image?piurl=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn0.rubylane.com%2F_pod%2Fitem%2F338449%2FRL9647%2FVintage-Chinese-Cloisonne-Enamel-LOCK-Pendant-full-1A-700%253A10.10-453-f.png&sp=1589896140T64fc148596f41e0a475591fa0a191941bd4a51ba063de6ab6f11a9551974c4eb[/IMG] Champlevé enamel: [IMG]https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0792/0935/products/IMG_4939_1024x1024.JPG?v=1536370975[/IMG][/QUOTE]
