This Micro Mosaic is made with hundreds of pieces of cut glass (tesserae) set with tweezers on cement with an extreme amount of patience into a desired image. This image is a Cicada Insect. Once the tesserae has been set, it is covered with colored wax and is then polished to complete an
even surface.
The Oval 18K Yellow Gold Pendant is decorate with delicate leaves. There are two leaves missing
which is indicative of its age which is Art Nouveau c.1900. The 28 inch Chain is crafted in 14K Yellow Gold. There is no clasp; however, because of its length, it can be put right over your head.
If only the best will do, then this is for you! It is a rare and unusual piece of art made into fine jewelry.
You can see this Art Nouveau Micro Mosaic Antique Necklace in our Tampa store with a retail
price of $6,795.
