Original Message:   This is my favorite type of cloisonne bead

I am not surprised when there is confusion between Japanese and Chinese cloisonne -they do overlap. In this particular case, distinction is in the color of the enamel, the pattern repeated in the design and basic shape and construction of the sphere. Congratulations on owning some of the most beautiful beads ever made, in my opinion. And Japanese cloisonne gets even better than this. Stefany, these beads are in your book; if they had been labeled as Chinese, I would probably have mentioned this to you sooner.
