Vintage Italian Micro Mosaic Mandolin Brooch – Mid-Century Souvenir Art

$45.00

This little beauty strums up all the vintage vibes! Handcrafted in Italy, this banjo-shaped brooch is adorned with hundreds of tesserae—tiny hand-cut glass pieces—meticulously arranged to form a vibrant floral design in yellow, green, and pink. Each tessera is individually set into a gold-tone frame, a skill Italian artisans perfected over generations.

Popular with mid-century tourists, micro mosaic pins like this were treasured souvenirs—part jewelry, part miniature art. Today, they’re highly collectible for their color, craftsmanship, and retro romance.

Details:
• Mid-century Italian micro mosaic
• Glass tesserae in gold-tone metal
• Excellent vintage condition
• Est. 1960s - 1970s

Wear it, gift it, or add it to your collection—this banjo brooch hits all the right notes!
