Antique 14k Mounted Victorian Micro Mosaic Plaque, The Pyramid of Caius Cestius, Roman ruins Old Paris Inkwell Rare large sizeMicro Mosaic plaque depicting The Pyramid of Caius Cestius, Roman ruins, set into 14k gold, formerly a section of a superb Victorian Grand Tour bracelet. Itcomes from a rather large stash I bought as a Paris goldsmith's estate was auctioned off. Everything from jeweler's tools to unmounted stones, cameo, micro mosaics. Among those were sections of what must have once been a bracelet or perhaps even a necklace. I have 4, and they are listed separately.
