Vintage Vilma's Italian Micro Mosaic (Converted) Brooch-Pendant Collection

from $45.00

This is a beautiful of collection vintage Italian micro mosaic brooches I converted into necklaces from the 1960s to 1990s. Micro mosaic jewelry originated in late 18th-century Italy, a destination for wealthy Europeans traveling on the Grand Tour. Inspired by ancient Roman and Renaissance art, visitors often sought tangible keepsakes to bring home.  The name “micro mosaic” refers to the infinite tiny pieces of cut glass, called tesserae, that artisans arranged by hand to create these intricate designs. I started collecting these a few years ago when I learned about them. I became enchanted by all of the delicate and impressive designs. I like to convert the brooches into wearable pendant necklaces with 18-20” colorful, inexpensive beaded chain to allow the colors to POP. I also let folks know that they can always upgrade the chain on their own if they so choose This helps to keep the items affordable and adorable! Most of the brooches are still intact if you should wish to convert back. All vintage micro mosaic items come with a Storybox.
