Armring, guld med mikromosaik, Cesare Roccheggiani, Rom, 1800-talets senare del

Micromosaics are intricate artworks created from tiny pieces of glass, enamel, or stone called tesserae. In jewelry, these miniature mosaics became especially popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, often depicting detailed images such as landscapes, flowers, or famous landmarks. Crafted with incredible precision, micromosaics were typically set into brooches, pendants, or rings, making them both wearable and collectible art. Today, antique micromosaic jewelry is highly valued for its craftsmanship and historical charm.
