About the Item

This exquisite antique pendant, crafted in Rome during the 19th century, is a testament to the exceptional artistry and craftsmanship of the era. Featuring a delicate micro mosaic design set on a round polished onyx base, the piece is a striking example of the skill and elegance synonymous with antique Italian jewelry. The focal point of the pendant is a beautifully rendered micro mosaic depicting a pair of colorful birds perched on a delicate branch adorned with forget-me-not flowers. Each element of the scene is intricately assembled from tiny tesserae, showcasing the extraordinary precision and attention to detail characteristic of micro mosaic work. The vibrant colors and realistic depiction bring the scene to life, making it a true miniature work of art. The micro mosaic is set against a polished onyx backdrop, which provides a dramatic contrast that highlights the intricate detail and vibrant hues of the mosaic. The onyx base is finely shaped and framed by a 9K gold bezel, adding warmth and elegance to the piece. The gold setting features clean, classic lines that enhance the overall design without detracting from the intricate mosaic centerpiece. Measuring 4.7x3.9 cm, this pendant is both substantial and refined, making it a standout accessory. Its size and exquisite craftsmanship make it a perfect addition to any antique jewelry collection, while its timeless beauty ensures it can be worn and appreciated for generations to come. Whether as a meaningful gift or a personal treasure, this Antique Onyx and Micro Mosaic Birds Pendant is a rare and captivating piece, embodying the rich history and artistry of 19th-century Rome.
