Vintage Micro Mosaic Watch Band Bracelet

These bracelets celebrate one of jewelry’s most intricate art forms: the Italian micro mosaic. Each features a vintage watch band paired with a mosaic centerpiece - tiny glass tesserae hand-laid, one by one, to form delicate floral patterns.

The technique originated in 18th-century Rome and found its place in history during the era of the Grand Tour - a journey taken by young aristocrats and artists across Europe, often ending in Italy. Travelers would return home with mosaics like these as proof of beauty discovered and craftsmanship admired. The tradition carried on through the mid-20th century, when Italian artisans revived the form in pieces meant to be worn, not simply displayed.

Every bracelet is a miniature piece of art.
