About the Item

This striking pendant showcases a mosaic hardstone butterfly—an exquisite example of pietra dura artistry—set in a custom 14k gold frame. The butterfly motif, composed of richly colored stones with fine detail, was salvaged from a damaged Victorian-era bracelet, preserving the beauty and craftsmanship of the original 19th-century piece while giving it new life as a one-of-a-kind pendant. Measuring 1.7 inches from the top of the bail to the bottom by 1.1 inches wide, this pendant offers a bold yet elegant profile. It is in very good condition, with the gold tested using both XRF analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid to confirm its 14k purity. A true fusion of antique charm and modern wearable art, this piece is ideal for collectors of pietra dura or anyone seeking a unique statement jewel. Materials: 14k gold, Stone.
