Earlier this year, we sourced an antique bar brooch — the kind that’s been hiding in someone’s jewelry box for decades, waiting to be redesigned. We didn’t know exactly what it would become, but we knew the natural pearls were too good to stay hidden.
One of our favorite long-time clients came to us wanting something custom for Mother’s Day, and we knew exactly where those pearls belonged.
Brooches have been having a moment — showing up on lapels, scarves, and necklines in ways that feel fresh, exciting and new — and we’d been itching to make one. This felt like the moment!
We hand-carved the design in wax, creating a floral silhouette that could carry the weight of those pearls without competing with them. Delicate where it needed to be, substantial where it mattered. When it came back to us finished, we were in love. A modern, yet timeless jewelry staple to celebrate motherhood.
p.s. we still have some pearls left from the brooch… what should we create next?
A little belated for your Tues! We hope everyone had the BEST MDW ❤️
