About Georgian Minankari Cloisonné

Minankari is Georgia's cloisonné-enamel tradition: fine gold wires bent into cells on a silver or gold base, filled with powdered mineral glass, and fired until the surface fuses into a glossy, jewel-deep plaque. For over a millennium — from Byzantine-derived medieval icon covers to the jewelry workshops of present-day Tbilisi — its signature has been deep lapis and azure blue enamel outlined by a bright, unbroken gold line.

This design system translates that vocabulary directly: a deep lapis-blue enamel ground, azure and emerald and wine-red cells, gold cloison borders fencing every surface, lapidary serif type, and glassy reflective finishes in place of matte flatness.
