Description

This lovely, very colorful, round 1” brooch has a floral motif composed of masterfully placed tiny bits of colored glass. It has a TRULY Vintage safety pin style clasp that is in fine working condition; on the back that is stamped "Made in Italy” 🇮🇹. In PRISTINE condition. Wearing micromosaic jewelry became popular during the Grand Tour period (17th–19th century). Members of rich European families would travel around Europe, taking in the sights & cultures of different countries. Italy was a very popular tourist spot as it had a long & prestigious history in arts & culture; a favorite subject in aristocratic circles. It was also a famous glass producer, & canny Italian craftsmen quickly turned their glass-making skills to making stunning miniature micromosaic pictures for their rich visitors. The richest tourists would commission their own mosaics. The small size of the micromosaic was appealing; micromosaics could be worn on the Grand Tourists' continuing journey, or sent back home to loved ones as a kind of fore-runner to modern postcards. Many micromosaics, rather than being sold in Italy, were exported to jewelers in London & Paris to be set into larger pieces. Micromosaic jewelry fell out of fashion in the 1870s.
