About the Item

A Rare 1830 Micromosaic Pendant with Doves in 14K Gold Grace your collection with this extraordinary antique micromosaic pendant, originally part of a Georgian-era paperweight and now reimagined as a wearable treasure. Dating to early 1800s (circa 1830), the micromosaic features a pair of serene doves—symbols of peace and enduring love—crafted from hand-set glass tesserae with remarkable precision and artistry. The micromosaic reflects the peak of Italian craftsmanship during the Grand Tour period, when such works were prized as refined souvenirs by the European elite. Once mounted in a decorative paperweight, the micromosaic has been transformed into a substantial pendant framed in solid 14K gold. The broad gold bezel adds visual weight and elegance without overshadowing the intricate design. Measuring 2.1 inches tall (including the bail) by 2.1 inches wide and weighing a generous 39.04 grams, this piece offers a commanding yet graceful presence. The gold has been professionally tested using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) technology and confirmed to be solid 14-karat. Materials: Glass tesserae; 14k gold
