To my joy I recently extend my Micro Mosaic collection with this beautiful brooch. The image represents a scarab (beetle) and is made from beautiful shimmering glass tessearae. The brooch is set in sterling silver and has an old c clasp. Measurment 2.6 x 2 cm. Along with my Gold scarab pendant and the pendant mounted in vermeil with the wonderful antique red copper watch chain they form a beautiful trio.
I'm curious what you think?

Hi Agram, does this date around 1922 during the "King Tut" craze?
Could be, I for myself think around 1900 so this could be the period spacious taken. In any case thanks for loving.
Stunning, simply gorgeous!!! : )
miKKoChristmas11, I agree, thanks for loving!
A real beauty, Agram!
Vetrai050, thanks a lo for your compliment and loving.
Kevin,hA, ha she is welcome as you too of course. In many aspect the US is far more better than The Netherlands, for example the sprit prices, and taxes. We only pay these days. But perhaps she is right in this aspect here this is better!
Kevin, and than another fantastic story. Newtimes (on CW) showed some times ago six micro mosaic little plaques. She gave four of them to me as a present as fellow European. I'm still confused about this wonderful geste, don't you think so??
this is the best yet agram -- i am just gaga over this one!!!!
epson233, nice you like it like I do. I suppose you already know that I'm a Micro Mosaic fanatic! And this pretty little fellow can nicely complement my collection.
Love this, anything with a creepy crawly!...:-)
Inky, this is indeed a beautiful piece, thanks for loving."See" you,

Moreover, it was for you never too much trouble everything as good as possible to describe or explain. In short, you leaving on CW is a loss for many collectors.
Obviously I will be happy to ask your counsel and advise to use through your private mail data to your counsel and advice as possible. You'll hear from me!!
