Micro Mosaic Floral Brooch & Earrings Set "Forget Me Not" Made in Italy JR 9570

Micro Mosaic Floral Brooch & Earrings Set "Forget Me Not" 

Like all micro mosaics, the florals pieces look painted on, but are actually made of very tiny pieces of glass and enamel of different colors, cut into pieces called "tesserae", and arranged to form images. Each micro mosaic is hand-created, and as much as we've marvelled at some "masterpieces" of micro mosaic paintings and fine jewelry online, we also believe that it takes an expert artisan to hand-piece together a tiny picture using miniature glass pieces. The mini artworks set on gold tone backing, adorns with twisted rope border. The earrings are 3/4"; the brooch is 1 1/2" x 1 1/8". Weight 19.98 gram, very nice vintage condition.
