Virtual Try-on

Pietra dura is an Italian phrase meaning "hard rock." It's a mosaic of sorts that consists of various colored stones inlaid in another stone, typically marble or onyx, and was an evolution of a similar Ancient Roman art form called opus sectile. This method of craftsmanship began in Italy during the Renaissance and was perfected in Florence, where by the late 1800s it was often purchased by wealthy tourists as a souvenir.

This lovely pendant holds an oval piece of pietra dura with two pink flowers set in a (partially) gilt silver filigree frame. Its current condition shows its history: parts of the frame are oxidized black silver and other parts maintain their gold overlay. It's an absolutely beautiful piece of history.

When visible, the Virtual Try-on button (located above the Add to Cart button) allows you to try on rings, bangles, and earrings using just your phone or computer. Other pieces—such as necklaces and brooches—are not eligible.

We do our best to make sure that scale is accurate. If the piece you're trying on has a width or length listed, the try-on experience will be as accurate as possible. Please note that the female models in the stock photos wear a size 7 ring and the gents a size 10.

Jewelry is meant to be worn but it's also an expensive ornament. Here are a few suggestions to extend the life of your jewelry:

  • We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or another trusted jeweler every six months.
  • You should remove your rings before swimming or performing any household cleaning, as harsh chemicals can interact with precious metals and permanently damage some stones.
  • Generally, we suggest that you do not wear your jewelry to the gym, in the shower, at the pool, or while sleeping.

We do not believe in selling something we cannot service. Should an issue arise, please get in touch. We offer an extensive range of repair services and are here to help!
