Antique 1920s Italian Micro Mosaic Marquise Bar Brooch Pin 2.75x0.75" C-Clasp Italy

Step into the romantic, artisanal history of the Mediterranean with this breathtaking antique 1920s/1930s Italian micro-mosaic marquise bar pin brooch. Hand-assembled in Italy as a premium travel souvenir, this intricate textile accent beautifully showcases the master-level patience of Art Deco era glass mosaic artistry.
The brooch features a classic, elongated diamond or marquise silhouette measuring exactly 2.75 inches long. At its heart sits a circular emerald-green target medallion meticulously packed with frosted white and fiery orange glass forget-me-not blossoms. The portrait spans outward into hand-set geometric panels filled with royal cobalt blue, primary red, and white millefiori accents. The entire glass canvas is framed securely inside a heavy, antiqued gold-tone framework finished with a delicate micro-beaded rope border edge.
The reverse features a sturdy pin stem secured by its original, primitive antique open C-clasp hook. The solid, textured brass backing plate is stamped directly with the crisp, authentic "MADE IN ITALY" factory hallmark. It serves as a magnificent historical accent for a winter coat lapel, a vintage scarf pin, or an exquisite focal piece for collectors of traditional European Grand Tour jewelry.
