Unidentified gold-tone metal, pearl-like ornament.

Discovered at a flea market during a search for creative references, this ornate brooch was acquired for a modest sum. Its central pearl-like ornament and intricate metalwork immediately caught the artist’s attention. Despite nearly three years without tarnishing, its material composition remains deliberately unverified. What began as an object of curiosity has since become a staple of the artist’s personal wardrobe, frequently worn with tailored suiting.
