Description: The Item Price Is FIRM. Micro Mosaic Necklace Pearls Pendant Italy For your consideration; this stunning large redesigned antique micro mosaic festoon pendant necklace. The micro mosaic itself is large, measuring 42 mm diameter and dates to the early 1900s. The total length measurement is roughly 68 mm long from top of the bail to the longest center freshwater pearl drop. I have added three plump genuine freshwater pearls with 14K gold filled wire. Bail is 14K gold filled. There is minimal tesserae loss in the mosaics that I can detect (the tiny handmade glass tile pieces). The back panel is jeweler's brass. Please zoom and inspect all photos for additional details and condition for they are all part of the description. A brief history of micro mosaic jewelry: Micro mosaic jewelry became popular during the European Grand Tour period (17th-19th Century). Members of wealthy families would travel around Europe taking in the sights and cultures of several different countries. Italy was a very popular tourist spot as it had a long and prestigious history in arts and culture - a favorite subject in aristocratic circles. It was also a famous glass producer, and Italian craftsmen quickly turned their glass making skills to making stunning miniature micro mosaic pictures for their rich visitors. Flowers, birds and architecture were a very popular subjects. Each piece of tesserae (little hand-pulled glass tiles) was hand cut by the artist and painstakingly set in place. No two micro mosaic pieces are the same. You are buying a little piece of history that is truly a one of a kind. As with almost all antique micro mosaic jewelry, do not submerge in water or use chemicals to clean. We usefully insured priority shipping with signature confirmation for domestic orders.
