A stunning Victorian-era micro-mosaic brooch, dating to circa 1870s, showcasing a delicate floral bouquet composed of tiny hand-laid tesserae. Set within a rich 18ct gold twisted rope frame, this piece highlights the exceptional craftsmanship and romantic aesthetics of 19th-century mosaic jewelry.

The floral design is skillfully arranged with vibrant tones of pink, green, and ivory, set against a dark navy-blue background for striking contrast. The frame is stamped for 18ct gold and has been professionally tested to confirm.
