Vintage Italian Micromosaic Drop Earrings

Vintage Italian Micromosaic Drop Earrings

You put these on in the morning, and the day feels a little different. That is what this pair does. Orange flowers bloom against a white ground, made in the Italian micromosaic tradition — and each time they move at your ear, they lend your profile a quiet color, and a lift only the wearer knows.

A white shirt, hair pulled back — and these do the rest. They never shout for attention, yet they're exactly the kind of piece someone leans in to ask about. A compliment, a conversation, one more small memory added to the day. This, we believe, is what jewellery is for.

The floral motif is set from tiny glass tesserae, one by one, and rewards a closer look — there is always something new in it. It carries the warmth of handwork that mass production cannot give. Wearing it brings a quiet confidence: the sense that what you own, you chose well. It straightens the back, just slightly.

The clip-on fittings mean you can enjoy them without pierced ears. Though they sway as you move, they are light in build and easy to wear through a long day. These are not earrings to save for special occasions — they exist to make an ordinary Tuesday a little better.

Made in Italy between the 1970s and 1990s, they have accompanied someone's days before. Now it is your everyday they are ready to brighten.

Flourish — Souvenir

Flourish is a collection of floral motifs that have been loved across generations. Delicate, but never fragile — flowers that bloomed decades ago, still beautiful today. That is what this collection has always been about.

This time, a special edition: flowers brought home from a journey.

The first city is Rome. In its workshops, micromosaic takes shape through a technique called millefiori — Italian for "a thousand flowers" — where tiny fragments of glass become blossoms, one by one. Travellers on the Grand Tour once carried these pieces home as memories they could wear. The very first souvenir jewellery.

The second city is Vienna. Here the flowers bloom indoors — in enamel, across a bangle, and in a cameo with the quiet poise of a Viennese salon. Less sunlight, more stillness; the kind of elegance that belongs to a beautiful room.

The light of Italy, and the quiet of Vienna. A small itinerary through two cities, gathering flowers that outlast their time. The Souvenir Edition is a one-time arrangement.

A memory of travel, kept close at hand — chosen in that spirit, we hope these pieces find their way to the right homes.
