Gold Filled Intarsia Inlaid Gemstone Pendant gold Both blue & purple coloursIntarsia is a classic European art dating back to the 15th century. Initially it was called "Piatra Dura". It was used to make ornamental stone tiles for churches and palaces. Intarsia's mosaic patterns of inlaid gemstones have been influenced by the intricate metal inlays and gemstone overlays predominantly found in middle Asian jewellery. Today, one can get a lasting impression of colour and patterned inlays at the "Hermitage Museum" in Leningrad
