EUROMED - Handicraft Jewellery in the Mediterranean

12 July 2021

MaltaPost participated in the EUROMED 2021 stamp issue, themed "Handicraft Jewellery in the Mediterranean" with a set of three stamps.

For centuries the Mediterranean Sea was a refuge for many cultures and civilisations. This brought generations of artists who adopted and developed different styles and crafts that created what we recognise today as distinctive Mediterranean jewellery. This philatelic issue reproduces items of jewellery found and produced in Malta in the 19th century. All three items are made from gold and embellished with seed pearls.
