Beautiful, large Pietra Dura (hardstone mosaic) brooch in a 14k gold rectangular frame circa 19th century.
They are most commonly found in round frames, so I like the uniqueness of this piece depicting a white lily.
The back has a hook on which to hang a watch (or perhaps another ornament).
Unmarked but tests as 14k gold.

Lovely condition overall with some minor flaws to note:

Presents beautifully.
