Bold, contemporary and striking, this one-of-a kind brooch are wearable artefacts. They feature history that is embedded within the rich pieces of wood and elegance from the handworked Sterling Silver.
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 (Priormade) and Ange (Ange B Designs). 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 shapes and textures.
This brooch is made using only four materials. Firstly you have ipe wood - that was once the hatch of a 18th Century ship, this rose hued wood has a distinctive zebra like pattern. There is also jarrah which is a very hard and waterproof wood and this piece used to be part of a pontoon that was submerged under water for nearly 300 years. The additional pieces are birch plywood from the Priormade studio. The wood is sawn, planed and the cut into shape using a fine saw and then finished with such high grade sand paper 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.
