| Sometimes referred to as Archaeological Jewelry, "Mosaic" style usually refers to jewelry featuring small pieces of glass or stone arranged onto a background to form a tiny work of art. When very small pieces are used it is referred to as "micro-mosaic". |  |
Mosaic jewelry became populr as a type of souvenir jewelry in Italy after the excavation of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Precious gems were sometimes used and frames ranged from base metal to the highest gold content. Simple floral designs were the most popular (Florentine), however the more intricate micro-mosaic pieces (Roman ruins) are very collectible. |
