Description
Great antique brooch in rose gold 333 / 8 Kt (tested and guaranteed), set with a finely crafted micro mosaic representing the ruins of the Roman Colosseum. The oval mosaic is embedded in deep black glass, which in turn sits in a secure frame frame with a beautiful spiral frame. At the back the brooch has a simple needling with C-hook.
This enchanting historical jewel was created in Italy around 1860 and is a typical testimony of its time, when micro mosaics were considered popular travel souvenirs that educational travellers brought home as gifts or small souvenirs as part of the so-called Grand Tour.
Dimensions of the brooch: 4,1 x 3,5 cm.
Dimensions of the glass insert: approx. 3.4 x 2.8 cm.
Dimensions of the micro mosaic: approx. 2.5 x 1.8 cm.
Weight: 14.4 grams.
Condition: Very nice age-appropriate condition, slight signs of wear, freshly cleaned, see photos.
You will receive the brooch lovingly packed in one of our high-quality cases and with a certificate of authenticity.
Please note: Vintage and antique jewellery are worn objects which may show slight signs of wear due to their history.
