http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_tincture
...after dwelling in the heraldic prehistory
"I" now believe, that the "Rule of Tincture"
(((metal should not be put on metal, nor colour on colour )))
isn't based on visibility, it originates out of the
technique
"""Champlevé enamel, Gilded copper aka. Cloisonné"""
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloisonn%C3%A9
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Champlev%C3%A9
because "Cloisonné-Champlevé" doesn't allow "Colour on Colour"
Colour always needs to be separated by a border or thin thread of
metal,
(Colour on Colour, as Metal on Metal is just technically impossible)
also the rule of
(only one metal) can be explained through this...!!!
...Gold and Silver, ...gilded Copper, because other metals would
oxidize rather quickly, especially in the process of melting the
glass!
______________________________________________________________ as to
the origin of "Cloisonné",
well you found some in your own backyard,

it was developed as a cheaper version of the Anglo-Saxon Inlay work
where they used real Gold inlayed with Garnets-Gems,
where each Gem had to be singly cut and polished to fit each tiny Gold
frame!
