The centerpiece is a magnificent, unfoiled \"flamed\" or \"lava\" art glass cabochon featuring a striking web-like pattern over a rich pinkish-red base, electrified by intense flashes of iridescent blue. Because the multi-colored metallic effects are baked directly inside the molten glass matrix rather than relying on a delicate foil backing, the vibrant stone displays exceptional internal fire and depth from both the front and back views. The colors are mesmerizing and change with each slight turn.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe glass is securely nestled within a heavy, gold-gilded base metal setting (likely brass, bronze, or copper) adorned with delicate scrolling openwork filigree and ornamental prong caps.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAuthenticated Origin: The needle mechanism on the reverse side is clearly stamped with the historical country of origin, \"CZECHOSLOVAKIA.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHardware: The original pinning mechanism is fully functional and secure.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEra: Victorian (Circa 1870s - 1890s)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOrigin: Bohemia \/ Czechoslovakia\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaterials: Non-magnetic gilt base metal, artisan flamed art glass\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHardware: Period-correct antique open hook catch \/ un-locked C-clasp.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight: Notably heavy, premium antique construction\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCondition: Excellent antique condition with a warm, authentic age-appropriate patina to the metalwork.
