## About this style

Raised metal wires divide the image into enclosed cells filled with colored enamel. Sharp highlights along the wire contrast with rounded glaze reflections, making the construction itself decorative.

Cloisonné divides a metal surface into wire compartments filled with enamel.

A flower's fine metallic outlines and rounded colored infill produce distinct kinds of reflection.

### How the style changes different subjects

- **Portrait**: Metal dividers enclose enamel cells across face, hair and clothing, making features more ornamental.

- **Landscape**: Fine metal lines divide scenery into a precise decorative panel.

- **Object**: Metal edges and rounded glaze highlights give objects a jewel-like surface.

**Subjects**: Choose flowers, birds, clothed figures or elegant objects with cells large enough to distinguish metal from glaze.

### Craft and history

Cloisonné encloses colored glass paste within metal-wire cells before firing; these structural divisions become the design.

## Reusable style prompt

```text
Form the subject's structural cells with fine, raised warm-gold metal wires, filling them with fired colored enamel for the continuous outlines of cloisonne craftsmanship. Make enamel pools glossy and slightly domed, with jewel-like color depth, extremely subtle speckling, and tiny bright metal highlights. Use soft oblique light to reveal wire thickness and layered glaze. Keep colors luxurious but restrained, with clear forms and no accumulated extra ornament.
