Byzantine Mosaic Cross Pendants
$48.00
These Byzantine Mosaic Crosses are meticulously handcrafted in Florence, Italy. The art and technique of Byzantine mosaics has remained unchanged since their origins in 5th-century Ravenna, Italy and this intricate craft saw a resurgence in 19th-century Florence. Using a traditional Florentine technique, artisans meticulously cut thin slices of Murano glass and intricately assemble each piece into a unique composition. Each vibrant thread of enameled glass is carefully cut and placed to form distinctive designs. The painstaking creation of Byzantine mosaics is now undertaken by a diminishing number of expert artisans.
The pendant measures approximately 1.7" in length, 1.1" in width, and 0.2" thick.
Material: Glass and Gold Plated
Made in Florence, Italy
Ethically sourced and Fair trade
The pendant you receive may not look exactly like one of these but will be just as beautiful
