It is the process by which different colours of enamel are, as the name suggests, separated by partitions made of thin metal ribbons, no thicker than a strand of hair, and fused onto a base layer of enamel to form intricate designs. This can be done by hand, or by using tweezers. Once in place the partitions, then filled with layers of enamel, until level with the top of the ribbons. The metal remains visible, allowing the beautiful patterns to shine through.
