Italian Micro-mosaic Brooch (1970s)

This nice micro-mosaic brooch was likely made in Murano, Italy, and it's certainly a vintage piece. Unfortunately, it has bronze disease, meaning the metal is liable to decompose no matter what! It'll be going back to the thrift store.

I have one of these from the 1920’s. It’s gorgeous, and has become my favorite jewelry type aside from cameos.

It's a beautiful brooch! Even if it won't last forever (what does anyway?), someone will love it for its beauty and history.

You are so wrong about your dates. This is very much an antique.
