LATER: the caption for this photo in the blog post distinguishes between cloisonne and champleve openwork, which perhaps I should have made more clear when posting this picture here as well.

The dragon bead on the left is cloisonne openwork, not champleve. There is an example of an openwork champleve bead in the blog post.

The tabular bead on the left is also referred to as "open work."
Open work can be found in either champleve or cloisonné.

where the background is filled in, but the figures are left bare metal.

There's a Haskell-style bracelet on offer on eBay right now featuring this type of bead -

A similar one in blue appears in Robert Liu's book Collectible Beads.

Another one of those rectangular slot disk beads, this time with the cord and box intact.
