This beautifully crafted micro mosaic set comes from the collection of Bentley
Skinner, Jewellers by Royal Appointment to His Majesty King Charles III. Micro mosaic is a technique of Ancient Roman art that had a resurgence in popularity in the nineteenth century in Italy. Tourists from England and other parts of Europe would visit Rome as part of their ‘grand tour’ of the ancient world, and many bought micro mosaic jewellery as souvenirs. This set features a pair of earrings and a matching brooch, each with a finely mosaiced insect set in a round gold frame decorated with further mosaic patterns. Exquisitely crafted, this wonderful mosaic set displays Ancient Roman as well as Byzantine influences.
Should you choose to make this purchase we would be delighted to send it to you in a Bentley
Skinner handmade leather case packed in a gift-wrapped Bentley
Skinner black and gold presentation box. Shortly afterwards we will send you on a valuation for insurance purposes for your reference and safekeeping.
