This wonderful brooch has been made in oxidised sterling silver with a stainless steel pin. The form is made from 9 hollow hexagons that side beside each other, forming one connected piece. The hexagons are varied in height, giving a sense of depth to the piece, and viewed from the side, it is reminscent of the unique hexagonal columns found in nature. The brooch is textured at the sides, with rough edges that imitate organic forms.
Materials: Sterling silver, stainless steel
Dimensions: 42.5mm wide x 20mm long x 11mm high at highest point.
