[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 268757, member: 2844"]Very attractive looking, beautiful colours, but poor quality and there is some enamel loss. The style looks Thai, so probably made in Thailand, a country which is also suspect when it comes to silver fineness marking. The technique is champlevé, rather than cloisonné. In champlevé the design is either cut out of the metal, or the metal is cast with raised partitions, and filled in with enamel. In cloisonné very thin metal strips or wires are soldered onto a metal base. You can have them tested for silver content by a jeweller.[/QUOTE]
