Antique 800 Silver Pietra Dura Floral Mosaic Brooch Pin Italy

Lovely antique Italian pietra dura brooch featuring a floral inlay of carved stone petals and leaves against a black slate background, framed in a twisted 800 silver setting. A fine example of Florentine craftsmanship from the late 19th to early 20th century, showcasing detailed artistry and natural materials. • Material: 800 silver (stamped) • Technique: Pietra Dura (hardstone inlay) • Colors: ivory, orange, green, blue, and white • Shape: oval • Size: approx. 1.75” tall x 1.4” wide • Closure: early-style pin clasp • Origin: likely Florence, Italy Condition: Shows age-related wear throughout. A visible crack line runs across the lower right of the stone base (see close-up). Minor tarnish, surface wear scratches on the back, and a small nick at the edge of the frame. Pin clasp is intact and functional Under black light: The inlaid stones fluoresce in shades of blue and green under UV light, which is typical of genuine natural materials such as marble, calcite, and lapis used in traditional pietra dura work. This subtle glow confirms the use of authentic minerals rather than resin or glass. I give all of my pieces a gentle wipe down but do not deep clean, as many collectors prefer to preserve the natural patina and finish. Please review photos closely for the best idea of condition. antique pietra dura brooch, 800 silver floral pin, Italian mosaic jewelry, Florentine hardstone inlay, Victorian brooch, micro mosaic style, collectible antique jewelry
