About the Item

This mid 19th century micromosaic features a Roman scene set into a piece of black marble. This antique piece was later made into a 14k yellow gold ring. This hand made mounting highlights the design. The frame has a twisted gold frame then a cultured pearl frame and then lastly a gold scalloped edge. US size 6 According to Lang University: Micromosaics are created from tiny fragments of tesserae, generally made from glass or enamel, set to form small pictures. One common method includes melting glass, pulling it into thin rods or threads and then, after it cools, cutting it into tiny pieces that are then arranged on a copper or gold tray to create a scene, portrait or landscape. Many depict ancient Italian landmarks or scenes from nature such as animals or plants.
