Micromosaic jewelry is back with a bang: mellow elegance by Andre Marcha

These delightful earrings in soft, natural colors, created by Andre Marcha, are subtly dominated by the XVIII-century floral micromosaic: a miniature world within a world.

Without a doubt, this jewelry has been designed by a man. Is this a controversial thing to say about a piece of art? You tell me! But I get a strong, masculine impression, paired with feminine impulse.

Micromosaic jewelry became popular in the 17th to 19th centuries. When the offspring of affluent European families travelled the continent, absorbing the arts, landscapes and cultural scene from its many contrasting countries, resourceful Italian glass craftsmen were quick to rise to this opportunity and use their exceptional skills to offer stunning micromosaic miniatures for the wealthy travelers.

In the Andre Marcha brand, founded in 1969 in Lebanon, this jewelry tradition goes hand in hand with innovation and profound craftsmanship.

Andre Marcha’s power is in finding balance in controversy: stones with different textures and colors combined with exquisite micromosaic technique. Andre’s experience in diamond setting and wax sculpting helps him see beyond the sketches and imagine how the pieces would look in the real world. He uses his sculptural judgement to mould shapes, select the colors and bring them effortlessly together in his creations, inspired by nature, evoking the deepest emotions, amazement and curiosity.

Andre Marcha’s pieces speak a distinctive artistic language and come from the world of dreamers to the world of original style and unconventional taste.
