If there is any kind of jewelry that can be called a real work of art, it must be micro-inlay. Miniature mosaics are made of the smallest glass or enamel-like materials (called inlays), or gold, copper or black Belgian marble, inspired by mosaics more than 2,000 years ago. Although some of the best mosaics have been unearthed from the archaeological sites of ancient Rome and Byzantine Empire, the most surprising thing is that micro-mosaics did not really rise until the end of 18 and the beginning of 19.
I'm in Paris? Cole Jewelry Art School was established on 20 12, which is the first school to provide the general public with the opportunity to learn the history, culture and craft of jewelry art. In Hong Kong, K 1 1 Humanities Shopping Art Museum (K1/Musea) was established.
These two artworks originated in Rome in the early19th century, when micro-mosaics were the most popular. Rich aristocrats travel everywhere, and Italy has become the most popular tourist attraction. Italian craftsmen, who are famous for their glass-making skills, began to design micro-inlaid jewels as souvenirs. The scenes described above are famous landmarks, such as the recently re-unearthed ancient city of Pompeii and Herculaneum. When Mount Vesuvius erupted in 35 AD, both cities were completely buried. The best micro-inlay art in this period is a set of jewels given by Napoleon to the bride Maria Luise (Marie Antoinette's granddaughter), which is now displayed in the Apollon Art Museum in the Louvre.
