History

Micro mosaics in jewellery represent an exquisite art form that emerged during the 18th and 19th centuries, particularly in Italy. Craftsmen painstakingly arranged tiny, colourful glass pieces to create intricate designs, often depicting scenes of landscapes, flowers, or classical motifs. Among these captivating designs, the Colosseum, a symbol of ancient Rome, held a special significance in antique rings. The Colosseum, with its grandeur and historical importance, became a popular motif in jewellery during the 19th century. Rings adorned with micro mosaic Colosseum scenes served as both a testament to the wearer's appreciation for classical antiquity and a fashionable expression of cultural admiration. These antique rings not only showcased remarkable craftsmanship but also carried a timeless connection to the rich history of Rome, making them prized and cherished pieces in the world of jewellery.
