I was just wondering are these worth much and what are they made from.
Thanks

I found thses sites that tell how cloisonné is made - fascinating!

http://www.travelchinaguide.com/intro/arts/cloisonne.htm

http://www.chinavoc.com/arts/handicraft/closinne.htm

And this site has links you might find interesting:

http://jewelrycollecting.allinfo-about.com/ssub16b.html

This site sells books that may help you find the value of your beads; however, you may want to see if your library has some of these books too:

very interesting.. I've always wanted to know how to do that too. I've made jewelry with the copper/enamel compositions.. it sounds like it would be a simple, yet time-consuming skill to acquire.
