aesthetics 2

• WHAT

  • Brooch has a very realistic, true to life appearance as it is faithful to the original inspiration taken from natural forms.
• WHERE

  • Realistic form of the female torso and the detailed reproduction of the griffin claws, both of which would have been carved out of wax to begin with.
  • Plique-a-jour wings set with diamonds and opals would catch the light, giving the brooch a shimmering and iridescent effect.
  • Hinged wings so that they can flutter like the real thing makes the piece come alive.
• WHY

  • Realistic nature of the piece adds to its visual impact and makes unusual design more eye-catching and shocking.
