The Art of Mosaics


Vintage Repurposed Mosaic Necklace with Cross

I am enamored with vintage mosaics ... take a look and you will concur, they are amazing!
  Mosaic artistry is a wonderful medium in which images are expertly created with teensy pieces of colored glass to form a pattern or picture. 
Much of the vintage mosaic jewelry I have discovered hails from Italy, lovely souvenir treasures of travel.  However, the history of mosaics dates back to ancient times.

In repurposing vintage jewelry, I love utilizing the multi-colored mosaic treasures. For example, I remove the backs of clip-on earrings or pin backs of brooches to transform into wearable pieces such as those depicted in the photos ....



Vintage mosaic earrings simply beautiful with the clip-backs intact ... for those with non-pierced ears!
