Fool's Gold Amber Brooch

This brass brooch has a beautiful irregular surface born from firing the brass to the point where the copper and zinc (the elements of brass) have started to separate.  It is flower-like with a raw amber bead on one end. The amber and the brass go well together, creating a warm harmonious vibe. 

The overall impression of the fired brass is golden, hence the name Fool's Gold.

A flower is a traditional motif in brooches. This one is a reimagined, more abstract variation on that.

Brooches could be coming back. They are actually a very versatile type of jewellery. You can wear brooches on the lapel of your coat, like they are traditionally worn, or some totally different new way. You could gather your shirt in an imaginative way with a brooch or wear it on your sock.

This brass and amber brooch is handmade and will take up to 14 days to produce. Small irregularity is in its nature.

Materials: brass, amber, sterling silver, steel pin
