About the Item
A rare and exquisite work of miniature artistry, this antique micromosaic pendant showcases a vividly detailed butterfly, painstakingly composed of tiny tesserae and set in a buttery 18k gold frame. Originally crafted as a Victorian cufflink (circa 1880), this remarkable piece has been expertly transformed by our jeweler into a wearable pendant, complete with a custom domed 18k gold backing, a sapphire accent, and a solid gold bail.
The butterfly—a timeless symbol of transformation and the soul—shimmers with exceptional detail and color, demonstrating the meticulous craftsmanship for which antique micromosaics are renowned.
The pendant measures approximately 1.4 inches from the top of the bail to the base and 0.9 inches wide, and is offered with a 24-inch 14k gold chain, making it ready to wear or gift right out of the box. The gold purity of both the pendant and chain has been confirmed via XRF and jeweler’s acid testing.
In great antique condition, with the micromosaic intact and securely set, this one-of-a-kind jewel is ideal for collectors of mosaic art, Victorian revival pieces, or anyone seeking a sophisticated, symbolic pendant with deep historical roots and modern elegance.
Note: The antique box in the photo is for display purposes only and is not included with the necklace.
Materials: 18k gold, 14k gold, Sapphire, Glass.
