Dear friends,
This week we are looking at brutalist jewelry- a subset of modernism that began around the 1950s. In jewelry, the movement is defined by rough edges and textures, and organic shapes. Torch cutting, burnishing, and applied patinas are commonly used to achieve the look. Most people either love or hate brutalism- which side are you on? We tried to pick some pieces for this group with universal appeal, and some for serious brutalist fans (like myself).
For brunch we recommend some raw fruits and veggies, if you want to embrace the organic and unfinished side of brutalism, or bangers and mash if you favor its angst and tumult.
