Victorian Gold fill and micro-mosaic pin

Description : Micro-mosaic is trending right now. Crafting this technique is very labor intensive, and a highly detailed method of jewelry making. Thin multi-colored strands of glass are pulled to varying thicknesses, cut and then inserted into a pattern. Look closely and you can see all the details of the bouquet in the center of this lovely, classic, 1890's Victorian pin. The Italians were known for their glass, and although glass has been used for thousands of years in jewelry, the micro-mosaic process is the finest example of this style. We are going through a revivalist era, where ancient techniques are being studied, and this work is highly sought after. The pin measures 50mm across and 40mm wide.
