About 1860s Micro Mosaic yellow gold 14k (one hallmark) mounted pendant of a Roman temple. It's in my opinion a beautiful old Micro Mosaic piece. Measure: 3 x 2,5 cm.
All in perfect condition, no tiles (tesserae) missing in black onyx or black glass. Only there are two chips (photo 4) in the black onyx at the back. I like this pendant because the setting is very nice decorated as seen more in that period. I'll hope you share my opinion.

filmnet thanks for loving.
mustangtony thanks for loving.
What a nice collection. Personally I like the roman buildings and animal scenes most in micro mosaic.
Newtimes thanks for loving and as a so-called Micro mosaic freak I like all mosaics. I love all antique micro mosaic and the finer the tiles (tesserae) the nicer for me. My Favorites are; birds, beetles, people in peasant costumes, my bird and flowers brooch, brooch with hair combing woman, parure with pigeons and my"private dancer " brooch. But with all my micro mosaic jewels I am very happy. You can most see here on CW.
Vetrai050 thanks once again for loving.

AR8Jason. Hello Kevin,
What a pity that you leave CW. You're one of those with a lot of knowledge of antique and vintage jewelry and assisted your knowledge with a lot of us, collectors. 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.
