Hi:

    I am currently designing a new line of cloisonne enameled beads
    (new to me).  When I saw this thread on the use of vermiculite
    vs perlite and annealing the bead it sparked my interest.  I
    have been having trouble with the beads I have made getting
    tension cracks in them. I am not able to counter enamel the
    beads since I fuse fine silver together and the hole is too
    small to counter enamel the beads. Would someone be kind enough
    to share with me the process of enameling beads? 

Thanks for your time.
