What is "champlevé"?
Champlevé is an ancient art technique where designs are carved into a metal surface. These carved areas are then filled with a colored, glass-like substance that is melted into the metal by heating. The end result is a detailed, colorful design that stands out against the metal background. This technique is often used to make decorative items such as jewelry, signs, and delicate patterns in metalwork.
