Vintage Mini Mosaic Brooch in Pastel Colours

Pretty handmade vintage mini mosaic brooch. This attractive brooch is made from pastel coloured pieces of glass or ceramic formed in to pretty floral design. The back of the brooch has a pin fastening which is made from metal and is fashioned out of one piece.

This handmade vintage mini mosaic brooch is in very good condition showing some minor signs of patination all-over, as expected with age. This lovely little brooch dates to at latest mid-century, Italy.

What is Micro Mosaic Jewellery?

Micro mosaic are a special form of mosaic that uses unusually small mosaic pieces (tesserae or tile) of glass, or an enamel-like material, to make small figurative images, often made as jewellery.

Why we love vintage costume jewellery

Classic and elegant, costume jewellery can add uniqueness and flair to any outfit, smart or casual. Vintage costume jewellery is a statement, and is a way to express your individual style. It is also great to know that you are unlikely to find two identical pieces, so there is not much chance of someone wearing the same as you – and with one size fits most – makes perfect gifts!

Early costume jewellery is different to its modern counterparts. Although costume jewellery has been mass produced since the early 20s, generally speaking, the earlier back you go, the better the quality and more interesting the materials. Often you do not find the same materials or quality finishes in more modern mass produced items.

People love collecting costume jewellery and once you start it is hard to change the habit. Often collectors have a favourite designer or maker, or collect a certain period. We sell many different makes and designs in store and on our website
