ON THIS PARTICULAR PIECE
The brooch is not coming back. We made one anyway.
Brooches are out of fashion. We are aware. We made this one because a category being unfashionable is not the same as a category being finished. A brooch does something a necklace cannot — it sits where you place it, and the wearer chooses where that is. We were interested in the choice.
The citrine was cut as a brilliant rather than a step. Step cuts read as cold; brilliants hold warm light better, and the stone here is a warm honey rather than a clean lemon. The leaves around it were cut from gold sheet, shaped over a wooden form, and soldered in a slight asymmetry — three on one side, two on the other. Symmetry would have made it a botanical illustration. The asymmetry makes it a leaf.
I
The Stone
Faceted citrine. Honey, not yellow. Selected for warmth, not clarity.
II
The Leaves
Each one cut from sheet, shaped, and soldered individually.
III
The Pin
Steel, with a safety roll. Tested against linen and wool.
IV
The Scale
38mm. Large enough to carry a coat. Small enough for a collar.
