SICIS Jewels Unique

SICIS 37 ROGER THOMAS COLLECTION “The enchantment and mystery of Micromosaic caught my attention as a very young man and I have always searched for and devoured every example I could find in museum collections and Antique galleries. The romance of the Grand Tour is most beautifully captured by theMicro-mosaic jewelry, furniture and moments of the era. This noble, rare and demanding material offers unlimited colors, extraordinary detail and the permanency of stone. I have been excited by the invitation from SICIS to utilize this historic media in an entirely new and original way exploring sculptural and pictorial possibilities-never before seen or considered and elevating its value to be the equal of precious stones and the finest art. The history of jewels and of the decorative arts during the fluorescence of Micromosaics in the Era of the Grand Tour have provided my inspiration. Intarsia, Ormolu, Fashion and Crown Jewels, Miessen Porcelain, and Chinese silks have all been referenced in the colorful, playful and elegant designs of my Collections for SICIS. I am confident that the art of Micromosaic will find a renaissance in the hands of the talented Artist Masters of the SICIS Studio”. ROGER THOMAS { Designed by Roger Thomas }
