    The difference between mosaic and pietra dura comes down to how specific the terms are. A mosaic is a decorative surface or item produced out of small, hard pieces assembled together to create a pattern. Artisans can use tile, stone, glass, wood and other materials to make mosaics. Pietra dura is a specific type of mosaic composed of gemstones. You may sometimes see it referred to as Florentine mosaic. Find a selection of mosaic art on 1stDibs.
