Such a breathtakingly-beautiful example of micromosaic, in which tiny pieces of glass are arranged to create a composition within a framed shape, we stumbled upon this cross pendant at a favorite flea this summer. Likely of Italian origin (where they mastered the skill of micromosaic-making) the cross shows such incredible detail, from fleur-de-lis finishes to a dove at center, and even some floral designs throughout. Erring on the side of simplicity, we took a cue from the deep burgundy-red of the cross and suspended the jewel from two strands of vintage burgundy beads, along with faceted brass beads from India. Overall, the necklace measures 19.5" in length, with the cross at nearly 4" in length.
