These brooches were born in the framework of the SYMBOLS series that explored the perceptions and understanding of universal symbolic terminology.
Inspiration for this collection stemmed from my re-interpretation of the Chinese horoscope signs.
As ever, I loved playing not only with the shapes but also with the colours.
These particular brooches are formed in a mechanical press with the help of hand-made dies that I created specifically for this project. Consequently, they are hand-pierced, repousséd and cold-enameled. Each and every one is an original, slightly different and unique.
