Antique Micromosaic 18K Gold Brooch, French, c. 1880

About the Item

Antique micromosaic 18K gold brooch bearing French hallmarks. The brooch was made in France and the micromosaic is probably Italian. The motif is unusual of a watermelon seller. The piece measures 1.75 inches across and 1.5 inches in length. The 18K yellow gold frame has wonderful bead and rope design. The brooch is in fine condition and all original. Our model is a medium to large size lady. All items sold are accompanied by a detailed Statement of Value by our gemologist, as well as all original gemological documentation, if specified in the listing. As always, we guarantee all of pieces to be exactly as represented. Each piece of jewelry arrives in a finely gift-wrapped presentation box. Over the decades of our stewardship as a small but exemplary purveyor of the jeweler's art, we have strived to offer a fine and authentic selection, in excellent condition, of collectible jewels from all highly sought time periods at competitive prices and even lower prices, if possible. In the process we have had the extraordinary good fortune of meeting remarkable people - some collectors, others just extremely interesting individuals who have taken the time and effort to examine their lives and select things that tend to make them smile, or admire, or just wonder at the exciting endlessly creative and nuanced panoply of jeweled artifacts.
