A garden captured in glass, each tessera set by hand to bloom permanently in place. The oval face holds a dense floral spray in ivory, coral, and gold-toned hues, ringed by a beaded border and radiating fan motifs. Stamped on the reverse, it carries the quiet mark of its Italian origin. A piece built for everyday wear, equally suited to a linen collar or an evening neckline.
