Antique Micromosaic Fishing Boat Pendant of 14k Gold
Located in Lewisburg, PA
Georgian Micromosaic Pendant Depicting a Fishing Boat, Set in 14k Gold (Circa 1830) A poetic glimpse into the past, this extraordinary pendant was meticulously crafted using an antique micromosaic salvaged from a Georgian-era paperweight, dating to circa 1830. At its heart lies a serene maritime tableau: a solitary fishing boat gently adrift, rendered in minute glass tesserae that capture the motion of water and the stillness of sky with astonishing delicacy. Each tessera in this micromosaic was hand-set by an Italian artisan nearly two centuries ago—an exceptional feat of micro-engineering and artistic expression. The composition exemplifies the finest traditions of early 19th-century Roman micromosaics, where painstaking craftsmanship meets evocative imagery. We have given this antique artwork new life by carefully resetting it in a custom 14k gold bezel, crafted to both protect and complement the mosaic. The softly glowing frame enhances the vivid hues of the glass and transforms the piece into a wearable relic of refined history. The pendant measures approximately 1.3 inches from the top of the bail to the base and spans 1 inch across. It weighs 10.15 grams and remains in excellent condition. All tesserae are securely intact, and the gold setting is crisp and polished, showing only the lightest signs of age consistent with its antique nature. Gold purity has been verified using both X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis and traditional acid testing, ensuring authenticity and lasting value. Materials: Hand-set Italian micromosaic glass tesserae; 14k gold Provenance: Adapted from an early 19th-century micromosaic paperweight...

Antique and Vintage Necklaces for Sale: Shop Van Cleef Necklaces, Pearl Necklaces and Tiffany Necklaces on 1stDibs

We are fortunate to know much of the world’s long and dazzling history of necklaces, as this type of jewelry was so treasured that it was frequently buried with its owners. Today, Van Cleef necklaces, Tiffany necklaces and Cartier necklaces are some of the most popularly searched designer necklaces on 1stDibs.

Lapis lazuli beads adorned necklaces unearthed from the royal graves at the ancient Iraqi civilization of Sumer, while the excavation of King Tut’s burial chamber revealed a sense of style that led to a frenzy of Art Deco designs, with artisans of the 1920s seeking to emulate the elegant work crafted by Ancient Egypt’s goldsmiths and jewelry makers. 

In ancient times, pendant necklaces worn by royalty and nobles conferred wealth and prestige. Today, wearing jewelry is about personal expression: Luxury diamond necklaces exude confidence and can symbolize the celebratory nature of a deep romantic relationship, while paper-clip chain-link necklaces designed by the likes of goldsmith Faye Kim are firmly planted in the past as well as the present. Kim works exclusively with eco-friendly gold, and these fashionable, fun accessories owe to the design of 19th-century watch fobs. 

For some, necklaces are thought of as being a solely feminine piece, but this widely loved accessory has been gender-neutral for eons. In fact, just as women rarely took to wearing a single necklace during the Renaissance, men of the era layered chains and valuable pendants atop their bejeweled clothing. In modern times, the free-spirited hippie and counterculture movements of the 1960s saw costume-jewelry designers celebrating self-expression through colorful multistrand necklaces and no shortage of beads, which were worn by anyone and everyone. 

Even after all of these years, the necklace remains an irrefutable staple of any complete outfit. Although new trends in jewelry are constantly emerging, the glamour and beauty of the past continue to inform modern styles and designs. In a way, the cyclical history of the necklace differs little from its familiar looped form: The celebrated French jewelry house Van Cleef & Arpels found much inspiration in King Tut, and, now, their Alhambra collection is a go-to for modern royals. Vintage David Webb necklaces — whose work landed him on the cover of Vogue in 1950, two years after opening his Manhattan shop — were likely inspired by the ornamental styles of ancient Greece, Mesopotamia and Egypt

On 1stDibs, browse top designers like Dior, Chanel and Bulgari, or shop by your favorite style, from eye-catching choker necklaces to understated links to pearl necklaces and more.
