Antique Micro-mosaic 14k yellow gold rope bezel Dog Brooch 8g 30mm JR959

 A true collector’s piece, this 14K gold brooch showcases a painstaking Victorian-era micro mosaic of a dog, created from tiny opaque enamel glass tesserae. The miniature portrait is mounted in a sleek onyx tablet and framed by a rope-embellished bezel, giving a refined silhouette to the 30 x 26 mm overall piece. The onyx tablet, measuring 26 x 20 mm, provides a bold backdrop that highlights the intricate tesserae work. Micro mosaics trace their origins to the Vatican Mosaic Workshop in the late 18th century, with numerous 19th-century studios producing these small keepsakes for travelers. Weighing 8.0 g and bearing a 14K hallmark, this brooch from the Signature Collection offers a unique blend of historical craft and timeless elegance—perfect for vintage jewelry enthusiasts or as a striking statement accessory.
