Antique Micromosaic Flower Pendant: A Lost Art Reimagined

This one-of-a-kind pendant showcases a rare piece of jewelry history: a genuine antique micromosaic, originally a cufflink from the 19th century, now thoughtfully repurposed into a timeless modern heirloom.

Micromosaics were most popular between the 17th and 19th centuries, especially during the Grand Tour era. These intricate works of art are made from tiny fragments of colored glass, called tesserae, meticulously arranged to form miniature images. A process so labor-intensive and precise that true micromosaic craftsmanship has become nearly a lost art today.

This particular piece features a charming bouquet of flowers set against a rich navy blue background, offering both delicate artistry and vibrant contrast. The micromosaic is framed in a solid 24k gold bezel, accented with three petite diamonds (0.06ct) that add a subtle sparkle. A large ring bail at the top allows it to be worn on a wide variety of chains or strands.
