Opus Sectile

Opus Sectile polymer clay cutters draw on the ancient inlay technique of the same name, where larger cut pieces of marble, glass or mother of pearl were fitted together to build a pattern or a picture. Distinct from the tiny tesserae of mosaic, opus sectile is about bold, interlocking shapes and clean edges.

This category gathers designs built on that cut-and-fit aesthetic, each cutter shaping the outline and embossing the inner detail in a single press. Explore the Opus Sectile clay cutters below, made for geometric, panelled and inlay-style jewellery.
