19th century 'Landscape' Brooch/Pendant

This one-of-a-kind pendant features a 19th-century micromosaic landscape, meticulously set in a rich gold bezel and accented with cabochon sapphires. Rare and highly collectible, micromosaics of this caliber were prized souvenirs of Italy's Grand Tour era. Composed of countless hand-cut pieces of colored glass, these miniature works of art are a wonder to behold. Finished with a fold-down detachable bale, it may be worn as either a brooch or a pendant. An Elizabeth Locke Jewels treasure.
