A pair of hand-set heart-shaped mosaics, each ringed in cobalt blue and pale scallops framing a tiny floral bouquet in coral and pink. The gold-tone rope border catches the light around the edge of each tessera, and the screw backs keep them secure without piercings. A romantic, well-preserved little pair with genuine handwork at their center.
