Micro Mosaic 14K Gold Bracelet Antique

Description: Micro Mosaic 14K Gold Bracelet Antique For your consideration is this stunning antique micro mosaic bracelet depicting five scenes with people. Each oval panel measures roughly 32.5 mm tall x 26 mm wide. Then entire length of the bracelet is 7 inches from end to end. The bezel and links on the bracelet are solid & tested unmarked 14k gold. The spring ring clasp is marked 10k gold and is likely a replacement or later addition.

One panel has a crack across the center, but is stable in the setting. Please zoom and examine all the photos for 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.
