We love a good brooch! Jewellery is so often hidden away and we want to bring back the statement and functional jewellery pieces. This brooch has a silver clasp to wear on any item of clothing and is exquisitely made using 100% reclaimed materials.
Description
A wearable piece of Bauhaus inspired art.
This brooch is from a one off collection of eight brooches is a collaboration between Beck Prior () and Ange (). Both fanatical about cleverly blending contemporary geometric, abstract shapes with traditional craft skills, these brooches are individual works of art.
It's all about the shapes and textures.
The history of the Jarrah wood - that was once part of a pontoon of an 18th century Bristol Brewery, submersed under water for years - is told through the deep wood grain. Paired with the stripes in the pine - that was once the roof of Battersea Power Station, this brooch has stories to tell. The wood is finished with such high grade sand paper they feel like smooth, pebbles of glass that have spent a lifetime in the sea. The Sterling silver- certified Ecosilver, (100% recycled) details and fastenings, add flare and contemporary styling that makes them wearable pieces of art. The shapes and textures work in harmony with the reclaimed wood: making the silver shine brighter and the wood grain richer - even the back of each brooch is beautiful!
These simple yet statement brooches are exclusive to Prior Shop. Beck and Ange have created this exclusive collection that references architecture and mirrors the textures, and colours found in each others work.
