Deep Sea Mermaid Oval Glass Cabochon Brooch in Floral Frame – The Divine Iguana

Why You’ll Love It

If you’re leaning into 2026’s brooch-in-multiples trend, this is the kind of anchor piece that elevates the entire cluster.

The Deep Sea Mermaid Oval Glass Cabochon Brooch in Floral Frame features a vintage Victorian image of a mermaid perched on a seaside rock, captured beneath smooth glass and surrounded by an ornate floral frame. It’s romantic, dramatic, and slightly mysterious.

This isn’t a filler brooch. This is the one people notice first.

Larger oval image area (30mm x 40mm) for visual impact
Intricate floral frame adds texture and dimension
Glass cabochon finish for depth and clarity
Lightweight and wearable despite statement size
Hand-assembled in the USA
Gift-ready packaging included

It pairs beautifully with celestial pins, florals, Victorian portraits, and even unexpected modern pieces. The contrast is what makes maximalism interesting.
