Abstract
An artwork creation is provided in which gemstones are positioned on a laminar backing sheet and are packed within cloisonne framework formed of precious metal. The artistic rendering is composed of discernible parts and articles of jewelry formed of gemstones within boundaries of precious metal which are strategically located upon the backing sheet at positions corresponding to the location of at least some of the dominant features forming these discernible parts. While pieces of mosaic inlay are permanently secured to the backing sheet to form those discernible parts not formed of jewelry pieces, the articles of jewelry are removable from the backing sheet and may be worn for personal adornment. Alternatively, the articles of jewelry are located on the backing sheet at predetermined positions to contribute to the artistic creation.
