This Byzantine Mosaic Cross, crafted in Florence, Italy is a customer favorite. Using a traditional Florentine technique, artisans meticulously cut thin slices of Murano glass and intricately assemble each piece into a unique cross.
The art and technique of Byzantine mosaics have remained unchanged since their origins in 5th-century Ravenna, Italy. This intricate craft saw a resurgence in 19th-century Florence. Each vibrant thread of enameled glass is carefully cut and placed to form unique and distinctive designs. The painstaking creation of Byzantine mosaics is now undertaken by a diminishing number of expert artisans.
Please note: As each pendant is hand-crafted by skilled artisans, slight variations in color, pattern, and finish may occur between the product image and what you receive. These natural differences are a testament to the authentic, handmade nature of this piece and add to its individual character.
