About the Item
A rare and captivating example of 19th-century craftsmanship, this antique micromosaic ring (originally circa 1880) features an intricately detailed bird—possibly a red-headed woodpecker—rendered in minute tesserae of glass, set against a vivid blue background. The level of precision and color variation evokes the finest micromosaic traditions, where each tile was laid by hand under magnification.
The mosaic was originally housed in a Victorian silver pin, and has been thoughtfully transformed by backing the piece in gold and mounting it in a custom 14 karat gold ring setting. This expert conversion preserves the historic integrity of the mosaic while offering modern wearability.
The metals have been professionally tested using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and jeweler’s acid testing, confirming the use of 14K gold and original antique silver components.
The ring face measures approximately 0.6 inches tall by 0.7 inches wide and is currently a US size 5.75. It is in very good antique condition, with only minor surface wear to the blue glass field, visible under close inspection and consistent with age and use. It can be resized to your preferred fit for an additional charge.
