Antique Italian Micro Mosaic Cuff Button Earrings

These beautiful antique Italian micro mosaic men’s cuff buttons have been resigned in to amazing light weight earrings! Victorian cuff links were often antique buttons that had been joined by their metal shanks with wires or ribbons. The original shanks did not survive time so their backs have been sanded smooth.

Earring length: 1 1/2 inches

Claudia is credited for designing the first rendition of A Starry Night  in micro mosaic on a terrace wine cart for her then boyfriend, V. van Gogh.
