{"product_id":"vintage-italian-micro-mosaic-cross-pendant","title":"Vintage Italian Micro Mosaic Cross Pendant","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn enchanting piece of mid-century European history, this vintage micro-mosaic crucifix pendant was beautifully handcrafted in Rome, Italy. The cross features a detailed jeweler's brass frame decorated with twisted rope wire filigree borders surrounding a vibrant multi-color mosaic field. Using remarkable artisan precision born from the historic Roman Grand Tour souvenir trade, tiny hand-spun glass paste rods (tesserae) were meticulously cut and hand-pressed into a traditional Vatican Forget-Me-Not floral medallion, beautifully flanked by geometric red, white, and cobalt blue tile segments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reverse side carries a crisp, authentic \"MADE IN ITALY\" signature stamp. In its current state, with a short section of vintage chain attached, the cross is presented as a standalone pendant, a meaningful faith milestone gift, or a premium supply piece for a custom jewelry restoration project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note: this is an authentic estate piece and is missing a tiny tile in the corner of the left cross arm, serving as a beautiful testament to its genuine vintage pedigree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Specifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal Core:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jeweler's Brass Alloy Frame and Fine Glass Tesserae\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign Motif:\u003c\/strong\u003e Forget-Me-Not Floral \/ Religious Cross\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-sfc-cp=\"\" data-sfc-root=\"c\" data-complete=\"true\"\u003eHand-Set in Rome, Italy\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBack Surface:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth, flat brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vintage condition with an aged brass patina\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Stubby Pencil Studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44834801516603,"sku":"VIN_ITALY_MOSAICCROSS","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0355\/3319\/3275\/files\/Italy-micro-mosaic-cross-floral-inlay.jpg?v=1793502804","url":"https:\/\/stubbypencilstudio.com\/products\/vintage-italian-micro-mosaic-cross-pendant","provider":"Stubby Pencil Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
