Framed Costume Jewelry Mosaic Assemblage Art

This is a contemporary hand-crafted assemblage artwork featuring a whimsical night scene composed of various pieces of vintage and modern costume jewelry. The piece is set within a white-painted wooden frame against a background of black square ceramic mosaic tiles. The central focus is a 'jewel tree' consisting of a trunk made from layered gold-toned metal chains and a vibrant canopy formed by an eclectic mix of colorful enamel floral brooches, plastic cabochon buttons, and rhinestone pins in shades of red, blue, yellow, and green. An owl pin is nestled within the branches. Above the tree, a large crescent moon is fashioned from multi-colored seed beat strands and metal wire, while a five-pointed star is encrusted with clear pavé crystals. The base of the scene features a brown beaded ground line populated by small animal figurines, including a white mouse, a seated fox, and a lizard, all potentially pins or charms. The construction uses adhesive to mount the 3D objects onto the grid-like tile substrate. The condition appears excellent with no visible missing stones or significant wear, though the nature of the medium involves repurposed items that may show minor age-related patina. This folk-art style piece likely dates to the 21st century and showcases recycled materials used for decorative storytelling.
