Enamelled butterfly brooch |

A simple pierced butterfly shape on a textured backing with millifiori enamel in the wing spaces. |

The brooch is pierced from a single sheet. It has a folded catch with offset hole to grip the pin and provide extra security. Careful hammering provides the texture. |

Inspired by a case of variants of this type of cloak clasp in the Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford, this brooch is fabricated from heavy wire and sheet for the body, and tube and square section wire for the pin. The square section is twisted for added strength. |

This brooch has a piece of domed sheet soldered into a centre hole and punched rays. The edge is formed round and there is texturing between the rays. The hallmarking is visible at 'eight o'clock'. |

This brooch is a commission piece and is a silhouette of Iceland which is where the recipient worked on her PhD. The island is pierced from sheet and sweated onto a background, which was then textured. |

This brooch was originally the test piece for the lapped washer bracelet. However, once that commission was completed, this length was too good to go in the scrap box! It's now hallmarked and a work in its own right.

A representation of the Met Office symbol for light rain shower - with sun, cloud and rain you can't really go wrong! The brooch is about 4.5 cm wide and uses gold leaf for the sun. The rain drop is sulphided black, though it doesn't show well in the photo. In this version the cloud is finished matt, the versions below are - all silver bright - all silver matt - gold sun embossed. |
