Frequently Asked Questions

We use over 80 kinds of natural marble, granite, and other stones we import worldwide. However, some colors required in some designs do not exist in the natural world and only synthetic stones are used in this case.

All our mosaics are hand-cut and hand fixed. Each tile is 0.25 inch (6 mm) deep and approximately 0.3 inch (8.5 mm) wide. Each mosaic is designed and produced by a team of 4 to 10 artists and craftsmen.

The mosaic shown on our website do not represent ready-for-sale goods as all our mosaics are crafted on order. All motifs that have been produced individually by hand can slightly deviate from the sample images in their color and application, within the context of the artistic design. In particular, it is not possible to guarantee an exact color match between the photograph and the material that has actually been used, due to the fluctuations of colors and texture of the natural marble and that will make your mosaic truly one of a kind.

Your mosaic can be customized by size, shape, design, and color. Feel free to reach out to your dedicated project manager and discuss the color palette that would best work for your project.

All sizes can be modified to fit your exact placement; however some designs cannot be made smaller due to design constraints, but all mosaics can be made in a larger size, or even custom tailored shapes such as circular forms or any form to fit your vision.

It is possible to customize any mosaic. We can also create mosaics based on actual photographs or paintings of people, landscapes or any other scenery. You are welcome to send all design requests to [email protected]
