Contrasting curves and textures coupled with 100% reclaimed materials makes this not just eye catching, but a conversation starter. This brooch is from a small collection of 8 pieces of wearable art and has a silver clasp to wear on any item of clothing.
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 handmade shapes and textures.
There is a rich and contrasting colour pairing between the Ipe wood - that was once the hatch of a 18th Century ship, and the distinctive Pine - that was once the roof of Battersea Power Station, South East London The wood is finished with such high grade sand paper that 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.
