Pretty old Italian micromosaic brooch in the shape of a shuttle dating from the beginning of the 20th century.
This is typically the kind of souvenir that young people from well-off families took home with them when they went on their "grand tour", an initiatory journey established in the 17th century, widely followed until the beginning of the 20th, and aimed at discovering the Europe and to develop the minds of young people.
This jewel is made of micromosaic of glass and brass (some welds appear coppery).
The glass pieces are of very fine quality.
The metal is stamped Italy on the back.
