Antique Micromosaic and Cognac Diamond Pendant

A breathtaking 19th-century micromosaic, depicting the revered 'Lion of St. Mark', is exquisitely set within a meticulously crafted geometric frame and encircled by cognac diamonds along the gold bezel. The lion, long a symbol of strength, courage, and the proud heritage of Venice, anchors the design with meaning. Micromosaics of this quality, painstakingly composed of thousands of tiny pieces of cut glass, are rare examples of exceptional craftsmanship and are highly prized among collectors. This pendant is suspended from a gracefully hinged bale that clips easily to any necklace or chain.
