AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Elegant 18 kt yellow gold tie pin, adorned with a refined miniature painted on a mother-of-pearl background depicting the head of a dog, presumably of a hunting breed. The iridescent surface of the mother-of-pearl lends depth and brightness to the image, enhanced by the convex lens that creates a striking three-dimensional effect. This type of workmanship, widespread between the late 19th and early 20th century, recalls Victorian and Edwardian tastes. The mount is simple and essential, typical of men's brooches of the period. Stamps not perfectly legible present. Weight 6.4 grams. Dimensions about 8.5 x 1.9 x 1 cm. In generally good condition, with normal signs of aging. An object of great collector appeal.

Sellers are responsible for the information, pictures and description provided, including the quality, quantity and nature of the jewelry supplied. A small imperfection that cannot be seen in the photo but is included in the description is not a non-conformity.

A Lab Report contains only the characteristics of an article described after it has been graded, tested, examined, and analyzed using the techniques and equipment used at the time of the examination from that specific Lab. The results of any other examination performed on the article may differ depending when, how, by whom and with which grading standard the article is examined. In addition, any changes and improvements in techniques and equipment that may have occurred which may enable the examiner to detect, among other things, the use of processes for altering the characteristics of an article which use was previously undetectable, does not automatically mean the object does not conform to its description.
