This antique micromosaic pendant locket is made in solid 18k yellow gold. The gold feels soft and warm. The shape feels balanced and calm in hand. The pendant measures 25 by 55 millimeters. This is about 1.0 by 2.2 inches. The weight is 10.93 grams.
The front holds a detailed micromosaic design. Tiny glass pieces form the pattern. Each piece was cut by hand. Each piece was placed one by one. The blue and white tones still glow today. The surface catches light like quiet stars.
The back features a glass panel. The panel is removable. This allows space for a small photo or memory. The locket feels intimate because of this detail. It was meant to hold something personal and close to the heart.
Micromosaic jewelry began in ancient Rome. Italian artists revived the art in the 1700s. Craftsmen used glass tesserae smaller than grains of rice. Artists worked without modern tools. Many pieces were made for travelers on long journeys. Each pendant carried memory and meaning.
This piece feels gentle and expressive. The gold frame protects the mosaic like a promise. Time has passed yet the story remains. The pendant waits to carry a new memory.
