In the 16th century, miniatures started gaining popularity among the elites, particularly in European Royal Courts. Their popularity continued to rise in the 18th century, leading to the establishment of miniature painters in various major cities. These pieces were often given as tokens of remembrance or taken on travels as cherished keepsakes. As a result, they became common in jewelry items.
