I forged this brooch from a flat sheet of sterling silver and added a micro-mosaic to its body (including onyx cabochons for added texture) to resemble a Hypselodoris nudibranch (sea slug). 

Fascination with the creatures of the deep came early for me and I continue to find inspiration for jewelry in the oceans. Share your love for science and the natural world. 

Each brooch has two tie tack pins on the back so that you can orient them any way you like on a coat or sweater. They will hang best on thicker fabric, not because they are heavy (they aren't) but the pins are long to accommodate heavy weight fabrics. Great as a tie tack or lapel pin.

Measures 1 3/4" x 1 1/2" (pins are 1/2" long)

Micro-mosaics

Inlaid glass beads and polychrome grout in precious metals.

Care Instructions

After wearing, wipe jewelry with a clean, soft cloth to remove oils and light tarnish. Periodically, you may clean the jewelry with mild soap, cool water and a soft bristle brush, but do not immerse in water. Do not wear micro-mosaics while swimming or showering. The metal portions may be cleaned with a polishing cloth impregnated with polishing compound, being careful not to get the compound on the micro-mosaics as it may discolor them.
