A very rare find, this original antique pair of micro mosaic earrings is completely unique and richly historied! Crafted entirely by hand during the late 1800s, the earrings feature intricately detailed doves rendered using miniature tiles (known as tessarae). In a highly skilled and labor intensive process, each tiny tessara was cut by hand and placed with tweezers. Exceptionally rare today, micro mosaics are found mainly in jewelry from the Grand Tour Era (17th-19th century). This pair is absolutely masterfully crafted with each feather intricately rendered with its own miniscule tile. It is truly a labor of love and a true work of art! The micro mosaics are framed by richly textured 18k yellow gold settings. Many micro mosaics were set in silver, so the gold settings make this pair a rare find and nod to the fine quality of the mosaics. A wearable artifact of the Victorian era, these earrings are not only stunningly beautiful, they also provide a rare and meaningful connection to a past epoch. The micro mosaics are formed from miniature hand cut glass tiles. The earrings are incredibly well preserved. The mosaics are completely intact with no missing tessarae.

These are very fine quality micro mosaics with tiny tiles that allow for incredible detail! The settings are made of solid 18k yellow gold (acid tested). The earring backs are 14k yellow gold.

The earrings measure 15mm in diameter. Handmade with great care during the Victorian era, these earrings have soaked in more than a centurys worth of life.
