Here’s a fine miniature from the late 19th century. 

A pretty lady, with colours still fresh and bright, sits in a navette-shaped diamond frame, with an original diamond bale. 

I love her serene expression, and the restrained simplicity of the diamond border. The 57 old-cut stones add up to an estimated 1.14 carats. 

At some time the back has been sealed with solder. I have seen this in other, similar pieces, and wonder if there is a memento so personal hidden within that someone chose to keep it secret from prying eyes …
