Copper wire
Sold
A Copper Penannular Brooch. I was inspired to make this piece by the beautiful Celtic and Viking brooches. The simple mechanics of this style of fastening makes it suitable to use as a brooch or scarf, kilt or hat pin. The last image in the sequence shows you how to wear it.
I have made the brooch with very thick copper wires to form the shape, which I have hand forged and then hammered, to create texture and an attractive pattern, this also makes the structure very strong. The pin is made from thick 1.6mm wire, which I have filed and sanded into a point. I have created a leaf effect on the hinge of the pin. The thick wire of the pin makes this brooch unsuitable for delicate fabrics. It is perfect for chunky knits!
The brooch measures 2 1/4' across and 2 1/2' tall and the pin is 4 1/4' long including the leaf.
