It's super exciting to find these odd lost objects and then conjure up ways to assemble them together again. There are so many favourite oddities in this bracelet, from the broken Italian mosaic brooch that needed some repair, to the ceramic hand-painted flower in filigree bezel which I strengthened the connectors and soldered jump rings to. I'm so grateful to those who kept these weird beautiful broken pieces for me to find and that they didn't just end up in the bin decades ago. . . . If you've read this far and you're intrigued to know what each piece is - i. Repurposed Italian vintage micro mosaic art broken brooch with bright flower detail possibly from the early 1900's ii. Carved mother of pearl broken brooch with beautiful carving iii. Vintage filigree round connector with missing rhinestones iv. One of my own hand made ceramic flower cabochons rustically claw prong set to a scrap of vintage tea tin v. Blue Aurora rhinestone broken clip on earring repurposed into a connector vi. Vintage enamel hand painted flower connector that I have soldered with jump rings vii. A pair of tiny bells with rhinestones to end the adjustment chain viii.
