The oldest and most elaborate techniques in the luxury jewellery industry
The art of micro and nano mosaics is one of the oldest and most elaborate techniques in the fine jewellery sector. Given the complexity of this technique, the reproduction of the same was impossible for many centuries. Sicis studied ancient micro-mosaic jewellery pieces dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries at the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg and the Vatican Museums as part of a project that required more than 25 years of research into innovation and development of materials, culminating in the establishment of an atelier dedicated to the specific study of micro-mosaics.
Sicis mosaic mastercraftsmen create these micro tesserae of gold and Venetian enamel, obtained by fusing 9 base colours and diamond powder at 1200 degrees, producing infinite combinations of colours and nuances. Dozens and dozens of hours are required to complete the mosaic; the master-craftsmen embed each micro tesserae one by one, working entirely by hand and following the design with the naked eye, creating a unique and inimitable masterpiece.
