Translucent and opaque cloisonné enamel works by the French enameler Fernand Thesmar, 1891-1907, at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.  

While most cloisonné enamel is applied to a metal base, the first three pieces have the enamel suspended in a gold filigree framework!  The fourth photo (a bit blurry) shows a “Dandelion” cup and saucer made of enamel on metal.  For the “Fuschias” vase, the cloisonné enamel is applied to a Sèvres porcelain body.

Pair of Altar Candlesticks China, probably Guangzhou (Canton), 19th century Gilt copper, cloisonné enamel, colored glass, and stones Height 56 cm The Khalili Collections

"During the reign of the Kangxi emperor bright yellow became a favoured background colour for enamellers working in the recently introduced European technique of painted decoration, and it continued to be popular throughout the 18th century. Its use as a ground colour for cloisonné enamel, however, appears to have begun at a somewhat later date in the Qing dynasty. Interestingly, on the present pair of candlesticks the decorative motifs are loosely spread against an open ground, an arrangement more akin to that seen in painted enamel than to that of traditional cloisonné work. Very probably, this was an intentional visual conceit. These candlesticks were probably part of a Buddhist altar set, the elephant being the mount of Akshobya, the primordial Buddha associated with consciousness. A smaller pair of enamelled elephants, carrying gourd-shaped vases, is in the Pierre Uldry collection, and a single example of massive proportions, formerly in the Qing Court collection, is in the Palace Museum, Beijing.

Let's discuss jewelry made with cloisonné art.

Later in history, during the Renaissance, cloisonné saw a resurgence in popularity as European artisans tried to replicate the beauty of this Eastern technique.

Nearer to the present, the organic shapes and vivid colors of cloisonné were embraced by the Art Nouveau movement in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, revitalizing the tradition.

I know from personal experience that when one stumbles upon an old cloisonné piece in a hidden corner of a vintage shop, they are instantly transported back in time to the hands that painstakingly created it years ago.

These are powders of colored glass that have been finely powdered. They fuse to the metal basis at high temperatures, creating a surface that is robust and glossy.

Often composed of gold or silver, thin wires are expertly bent and attached to the metal base to create complex patterns that characterize the design.

The enamel mosaic that now adorns the metal cloisons produces an enthralling interplay of color and light
