Antique Pietra Dura Butterfly Charm of 18k Gold

This delightful charm features a pietra dura butterfly, intricately inlaid with colorful hardstones and framed in warm 18k gold. The piece was originally crafted as an antique cufflink around 1900 and has since been thoughtfully converted into a charm with the addition of a 14k gold bail, giving it fresh versatility while preserving its historic artistry.

The charm measures 0.8 inches by 0.5 inches across and weighs 1.25 grams. The gold content has been confirmed through XRF (x-ray fluorescence) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, ensuring purity and integrity.

In very good condition, the piece shows only minor indentations on the reverse, consistent with age and conversion. A charming jewel that blends Italian pietra dura craftsmanship with modern wearability, it is a refined addition to any curated collection of antique charms and pendants.
