Wanderlust Micro Mosaic Surrounded by Opals Cuff (Ravenna)

This exquisite micro mosaic pin is surrounded by faceted opal in a cuff of hand sewn leather. Soft and supple, this piece feels yummy on, but OH the places you'll go wearing THIS, my darling Sophanista.

In the summer of 2018, I had the opportunity to visit the "Mosaic City" of Europe: Ravenna, Italy. While there, we visited the circuit of magnificent art mostly from the 6th century, when Ravenna was an outpost of the Byzantine Empire... pieces commissioned by my personal hero, Empress Theodora. It was in the shop of the Basilica of San Vitale that I was able to source some AMAZING micro mosaic elements, pieces that have been created by Italian artisans for centuries. Our Wanderlust Ravenna Collection is a twist on an ancient tradition. Wear them with joy, my darling Sophanista.
