Need a hand? Well here’s an arm for good measure. This artisan brooch is handmade, the branch-like arm is crafted from bronze while the pin is made up of 18k and 14k gold. The arm and fingers feature rugged irregular lines, and a textured palm which makes the brooch feel like the Brutalist modern equivalent to the dainty hand motif jewelry of the Victorian age. This piece is the definition of wearable art, a miniature sculpture in its own right.
