About the Item

Antique Micromosaic Dolphin Pendant in 14K Gold – Circa 1830 A captivating piece of history reimagined for the modern connoisseur, this bespoke pendant features a stunning micromosaic salvaged from an early 19th-century Grand Tour paperweight. Every glass tessera was meticulously hand-set around 1830 to depict a stylized dolphin—a powerful symbol of guidance, protection, and renewal—celebrated in classical mythology. The micromosaic has been masterfully repurposed and mounted in a custom 14K gold setting that complements its rich patina and old-world artistry while offering durability for contemporary wear. Its vibrant palette and precise craftsmanship reflect the exceptional skill of Italian mosaicists during the Romantic period. Elegant and refined, the pendant measures 1.3 inches from the top of the bail to the bottom and 1 inch wide, with a substantial weight of 10.21 grams. Its size and composition strike a balance between statement and sophistication, perfect for collectors and tastemakers who appreciate heirloom-quality pieces with a story. This unique jewel is in excellent antique condition, with its original micromosaic preserved and the modern gold mount crafted with care to ensure both beauty and structural integrity. Our metal testing is conducted using industry-standard XRF spectrometry to ensure authenticity and purity of all precious metal components. Materials: 14k gold; glass tesserae
