EY – From Greek Health to English Love: Castellani's Victorian Micro Mosaic Brooch

As with this 18K yellow gold Victorian brooch, the Italian jewellery brand "Castellani" is a master in towing anyone along to an ancient place where time stood still. The white with blue centre is of exquisite detailed micro mosaic, composed in small square pieces of enamel threads -also called "smalti falti" in Italian. Various gold filigree patterns beam from around the archaic middle. In any means, the letters EY stand for a gesture of caress whether in Greek "Good Health" or in English "Eternally Yours".
