Pool Mosaic Medallions
The centerpiece of any luxury pool — handcrafted by Mosaiclegs.
Custom Pool Mosaic Medallions
A pool mosaic medallion is the crown jewel of luxury pool design — a centerpiece artwork set into the pool floor that transforms an ordinary pool into a work of art. Mosaiclegs Art Studio designs and fabricates fully custom pool medallions by hand, using time-honored Byzantine techniques and premium glass and stone materials.
What Is a Pool Mosaic Medallion?
A pool mosaic medallion is a large-format decorative mosaic artwork installed in the floor or wall of a swimming pool. Medallions typically range from 3 feet to 12+ feet in diameter and feature a central design — a crest, sea creature, portrait, geometric star, or any custom image — surrounded by decorative borders. When the water is still, the medallion is fully visible from above. When the water moves, it shimmers and comes alive.
Our Medallion Designs
Greco-Roman Medallions — Classic Neptune, Poseidon, sea horses, acanthus wreaths, and laurel designs in the grand tradition of European estate pools. Our most iconic style.
Sea Life Medallions — Dolphins, turtles, manta rays, and tropical fish rendered in vivid smalti glass. Each piece is hand-drawn and hand-cut — no two are alike.
Family Crest & Monogram Medallions — Your family name, initials, or coat of arms immortalized in a custom pool medallion. A truly one-of-a-kind heirloom piece.
Geometric Star Medallions — Bold Venetian star patterns in any colorway — from classic blue and gold to modern black and white. A clean, architectural statement.
Fully Custom Medallions — If you can describe it, sketch it, or show us an inspiration image, we can build it. Our design team works with you from concept to completion.
The Mosaiclegs Medallion Process
Every medallion begins with a consultation and design phase where we develop a scaled rendering for your approval. Once the design is finalized, our artisans hand-cut each tesserae and assemble the medallion in our studio — a process that can take weeks for large-scale pieces. We provide photo and video updates throughout fabrication. Installation is handled by our team of master installers with 25+ years of experience.
Notable Work
Our pool medallion portfolio includes private estate pools throughout Southern California, a country club installation in Coto de Caza, Orange County, and a pool project inspired by the luxury indoor pool at the Burj Al Arab. Every project is unique — that's the point.
Serving Southern California & Beyond
We design and fabricate custom pool mosaic medallions for clients throughout the Inland Empire, Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego. We also ship fabricated medallions nationwide and internationally for large-scale luxury projects.

Ready to start your pool mosaic medallion project?
A pool mosaic medallion is the single most impactful design element a pool can have — a large-format hand-cut mosaic centered in the shallow end or positioned as a visual anchor on the pool floor. Mosaiclegs designs and fabricates custom pool mosaic medallion work in smalti glass, vitreous glass, and mixed materials for luxury residential and commercial pools.
Pool Mosaic Medallion Design Options
Our pool mosaic medallion designs range from classical subjects — Neptune, sea turtles, dolphins, compass roses, family crests — to fully custom originals designed from scratch for the client. Every pool mosaic medallion we produce is unique. We begin with a scaled design drawing, review it with the client, and proceed to fabrication only after the design is approved. Standard sizes run from 24 inches to over 10 feet in diameter, though we have no fixed limit on size.
How a Pool Mosaic Medallion Is Made
A pool mosaic medallion of this quality requires opus vermiculatum outlining — individual tesserae cut and laid to follow the contour of each figure — before the surrounding field is filled. This technique, used in ancient Roman bath mosaics, gives each pool mosaic medallion a sculptural quality that distinguishes hand-cut work from any machine-produced or printed alternative.
