Antique 14k Mounted Victorian Micro Mosaic Plaque, The Pyramid of Caius Cestius, Roman ruins Old Paris Inkwell which is claret-wine coloredMicro 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.
