Makers and skills were often regional evolving through tradition and availability of materials. Since very early roman times mosaics have been created that still amaze us with their beauty.

 Pieces of fine jewelry were created with thousands of tiny tiles made from glass and stone. The masters created works that appeared to be paintings. Often made for as keepsake pieces each was a unique work of art. As travel began to bring tourist there were number of years known as the Grand Tour years where these works were purchased and spread across the globe. Styles and processes can be distinguished by materials styles and settings.
