Byzantine cross with micromosaic

VIDEO  An extraordinary cross-shaped pendant, finely crafted in gold and silver, inspired by ancient votive crosses from the Lombard and Byzantine eras—evoking the solemn elegance of renowned artifacts such as the Cross of Agilulf.
The cross is embellished with geometric settings housing vivid green emeralds and striking deep-red cabochon garnets, creating a refined balance of form and color reminiscent of Early Medieval art.
At the center, a rare vintage circular micromosaic—set against a royal blue background—depicts a delicate small bird. This precious element adds a poetic touch to the composition, imbuing the piece with further artistic and collectible value.
Hanging from the side arms are four slender 22kt gold chains, fashioned in the authentic “Manin” link style—one of the most celebrated and sophisticated techniques from the 18th-century Venetian goldsmithing tradition. The chains terminate in small natural pearls, which lend movement, lightness, and a refined, Byzantine-inspired elegance.
This exceptional pendant unites symbolism, history, and masterful craftsmanship, blending Lombard motifs, Byzantine influences, and the Venetian tradition of goldsmithing into a work of immense charm—destined for collectors and connoisseurs of artistic jewelry.
