Cerulean Shield Brooch

Blue agate defines this composition - softly banded, serene in tone, and selected for the clarity of its natural patterning. 


It is set within copper wire shaped entirely by hand into a brooch form, establishing structural balance and dimensional presence. The design integrates stone and metal with architectural intention rather than ornament alone. 


Over time, the copper will deepen and warm, developing a patina influenced by environment and wear, while the agate remains steady - grounded, enduring, and visually constant. 


This brooch is hand-formed without molds or machinery and released as a singular authored work. While future explorations may revisit similar materials or formats, this exact composition will not be replicated.
