Copper wire and Aventurine
£35.00
Bejewelled Penannular brooch, copper and Aventurine, fibular or scarf pin. I was inspired to make this piece by the beautiful Celtic and Viking brooches. The simple mechanics of this style of fastening makes it suitable to use as a brooch or scarf, kilt or hat pin. The last image in the sequence shows you how to wear it.
I have made the brooch with thick copper wires to form the shape, which I have hand forged and then hammered, to create texture and an attractive detail, this also makes the structure very strong. The pin is made from thick 1.6mm wire, which I have filed and sanded into a point.
The terminals of the brooch and the pin are embellished with genuine Aventurine stones that are secured in a tension setting. The thick wire of the pin makes this brooch unsuitable for delicate fabrics. It is perfect for chunky knits!
The brooch measures 1 1/3' across and 1 1/2' tall and the pin is 2 3/4' long.
