Micromosaic Brooch with "Doves of Pliny"
A group of doves sit around a water basin as one goes in for a drink. The scene is made of tiny glass tiles that form a tranquil scene. The “Doves of Pliny” are a 18th century archeological discovery that fascinated the world with its fine detail and craftsmanship. The scene was mainly copied by 18th and 19th century jewelers in Italy, where they were purchased by tourists. The gold setting is solid 14k gold, and has a modern pin latch for extra security.
