Pietra Dura Amethyst Pansy Flower Brooch Pin 14K Gold Antique Victorian Etruscan
About the Item
Indulge in a stunning Pietra Dura Brooch in 14 Karat Gold with inlaid semi-precious stones including Amethyst and Mother-of-Pearl, creating an iridescent mosaic image of flowers, including a gorgeous purple and white pansy, and forget-me-nots. The brooch is a masterpiece of Pietra Dura work. The vivid deeply set flowers and leaves against the black onyx background are stunning. The iridescence created by the Amethyst and Mother-of-Pearl is extremely rare in Pietra Dura pieces. The forget-me-nots have a lustrous pink iridescence that is wonderful as well. The gems may be tourmaline or ruby.
Pietra Dura jewels were popular souvenirs from Italy for tourists on the Grand Tour. Typically such brooches are made from hard stones such as marble, agate and turquoise. Our Gold Pietra Dura brooch has extremely fine Pietra Dura done with semi-precious gems. The image is set in a gorgeous Etruscan Revival setting in 14 Karat Gold. The beautiful hand applied beaded cannetille form of the gold surround is extremely fine and exhibits the hallmarks of classic Etruscan Revival design. The flower brooch dates to the Victorian period, circa 1850 - 1890. If desired the brooch can be easily converted to a pendant.
The brooch is from one of the finest museum quality collections of Pietra Dura and Cameo Jewelry every assembled. We have included a photograph of some of the pieces that we currently have available from this collection. Please inquire if a piece is of interest.
"Pietra dura" is a mosaic technique that flourished in Florence, Italy in the 16th-19th centuries. Extraordinarily skilled artisans worked with colorful semi-precious stones. Small mosaic details were carefully cut and inlaid into the base which was typically marble or onyx. “Pietra dura” mosaics are so finely done that they look like paintings, with flowers, birds, fruits and insects as popular motifs.
Pietra Dura jewels are highly collected today. They are jewels of wearable art, each piece created individually by an artist. They are treasures to be worn and passed down for generations.
The brooch is 1 3/4 inches (46mm) wide and is 1 1/2 inches (37mm) tall.
The brooch is 14 Karat Gold.
The brooch weighs 12.5 grams.
