Chinese Cloisonné Bangles

Chinese cloisonné, also known as jingtailan, is a traditional enamel craft loved for its bold colours, intricate patterns and beautiful metalwork. Each design is created by shaping fine metal wires into tiny sections, filling them with coloured enamel, then firing and polishing the piece until it shines.

The craft has a long history across different cultures, but became especially treasured in China during the Ming dynasty, where its rich blue enamel pieces became closely linked to the Jingtai era.
