A bold interplay of color, texture, and form, Verdant Aurora is a one-of-a-kind statement brooch that bridges the worlds of jewelry and wearable art.
Hand-cut from copper sheet and hammered, the organic outer form frames a richly layered square of separation enamel. Subtle shifts of blue-green are illuminated by soft notes of golden yellow and blush pink, creating a luminous surface reminiscent of light moving across a living landscape—an aurora captured in metal and glass.
The enameled focal is secured within a hand-fabricated tab setting, allowing the metalwork to engage with the enamel rather than simply contain it. Sculpted copper elements flow across the surface, adding movement and dimension while contrasting the geometric center.
The reverse features a fully handmade pin stem and catch, completing the piece with the same level of craftsmanship throughout.
This design is one of a kind; no identical piece will be created.
