19th century antique micromosaic pendant

This 19th century micromosaic depicts a charming spaniel, a beloved subject in Victorian art. Composed of countless tiny pieces of colored glass arranged with extraordinary precision, micromosaics of this caliber were collected as keepsakes of the Grand Tour. The image is framed in a slim gold bezel accented with four gold triads, lending balance and refinement to the design. Finished with a hinged bale that clips easily onto a necklace, this pendant captures both the artistry of its time and the enduring appeal of a faithful companion. An Elizabeth Locke Jewels treasure.
