Learning Note: Petit point jewelry became hugely popular in the 1940s-50s! "Petit point" refers to the tiny needlepoint stitches (sometimes as small as 20-40 stitches per inch) used to create detailed designs. These pieces often featured romantic florals like roses. The needlework was done on fine mesh fabric, then set behind glass or acrylic and framed in metal. Each piece required hours of meticulous handwork, making them precious and collectible. Women treasured these delicate pieces as they represented both fine craftsmanship and feminine elegance!
