Vintage Italian Micromosaic Brooch

Vintage Italian Micromosaic Brooch

Pinned to a jacket lapel or the front of a coat, this brooch carries a quiet resolve into the day — a small decision to make it a good one. Against a deep blue ground bloom a red rose, orange flowers, and small white blossoms, each petal set from tiny glass tesserae in the Italian micromosaic tradition. A little bouquet, worn at the chest.

The beauty of a brooch is that it asks so little of you. On mornings without time to choose necklaces or earrings, one pin completes the outfit — a plain knit or a scarf suddenly looks intentional, chosen. It is a reliable companion for days when you meet people.

Look closely and each fragment of glass returns the light a little differently, giving the petals real depth. The navy ground is calm and steady, letting the flower colors stand with elegance rather than noise, while an openwork gold-tone border frames it all softly.

Worn where eyes naturally rest, it is the kind of piece that starts conversations — and every compliment adds a little quiet confidence in your own eye for things. This is what a brooch does: it adds small joys to ordinary days.

Made in Italy between the 1970s and 1990s, it has graced someone's lapel before. Now it is ready to bring flowers to your everyday.

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.
