Fold Formed Copper Brooch - Mixed Metal Brooch - Abstract buy Fish Brooch - Copper Brooch With Silver Accents - Cuttlefish Cast Sterling

A scrap piece of reticulated silver that did not reticulate very well looked like a fish to me. This brooch was made with fold formed copper and embellished with a cuttlefish cast sterling silver accent piece. This brooch was made during a demonstration for a class I was teaching on fold forming. Hammer marks and surface imperfections are a part of the charm of this piece. By leaving the finish buy in its more natural state, the energy of the maker personalizes the piece for the special someone who wears the brooch.

The clasp is a pre-made, sterling silver finding. It has been installed with the opening on the top of the clasp rather than the bottom, which is different than the usual installation. It still works fine, just a bit more difficult to put on. I was distracted while soldering and accidentally installed it upside down. HMMMM - It was an interesting day..... I have discounted the price for that reason.

The copper patina will change color due to environmental conditions.

All of my jewelry is handmade with peaceful, loving energy in my studio in Silver City, NM. Thanks for looking and remember, handmade jewelry makes a wonderful gift!
