Late Victorian Italian Brooch with a micro-mosaic on black onyx with a centerpiece features a beautifully detailed, multi-colored floral bouquet handcrafted from small glass tesserae (tiles). Vibrant red, soft blue, orange, and yellow blossoms are perfectly framed by a clean border of stark white tesserae tiles. The micro-mosaic panel is inset into a larger, faceted black onyx stone with a gold filled brass holder.
Measures: 1 3/4" long x 1 1/4" wide x 1/2" depth.
