PD: We were looking for different techniques. Initially, we started to only use
link miniature enamel. But then we looked at the drawing and decided to start with
link a base, where we then placed paillonné enamel. It provides brightness and transparency.The artists insert the gold and silver leaf paillons. These are very, very small threads of gold and silver set between the layers of enamel to create a variety of light, transparency, and
link relief effects that give the design life.
