This sweet, collectible and unique jewellery piece has been created using a fusion of antique and vintage elements.
 
The trophy piece being this delightful pietra dura* piece.  The intricate mosaic of a pretty floral sprig with flower and buds, of which look to be a Rose, Forget Me Not and Morning Glory, all having sentiment and meaning. Carefully and skilfully set upon a backdrop of black for a delicate, yet dramatic statement.  The mosaic is set within an attractive mount with silver ball edge detail and a solid silver full back.  
 
I have attached a matching chain drop to the bottom of the piece, to which I have connected a gorgeous chunky silver antique Victorian watch chain T Bar, piece, with lovely old hallmark.  This grounds and sets off the whole design beautifully. 
 
The pretty silver fancy chain that I have used to create the backdrop for this design is 'new'.  The neckace is fastened at back of neck by way of a bolt ring fastener and can be fastened at 2 different lengths (see below). 
 
* Pietra Dura
Pietra dura (translation hardstone) refers to a Florentine mosaic technique that is descendant from the Roman opus sectile mosaic style.
Pietra dura is a term for using cut and fitted, highly polished coloured stones to create images. The stonework is glued stone-by-stone to a base after being "sliced and cut in different shape sections; and then assembled together so precisely that the contact between each section was practically invisible.
