A masterpiece in miniature: a 16th-century German pendant

This exquisite jewel of gold, enamel, and pearls is around 500 years old, yet it feels remarkably modern. Beneath a dome of rock crystal lies a delicately crafted three-dimensional Nativity scene. The pendant measures just 4 cm across. Centuries pass and fashions change, but our love of handmade, fragile beauty endures.
