'The Secret of the Olive Grove' Brooch

A homage to Van Gogh's rich colour palette and compelling line work in his paintings of Olive Trees; together with the translucent nature and rich tone of this fascinating piece of Amber; inspired the creation of this unique brooch. 

The honey coloured gem reveals the secret of the Olive Grove beneath. The hammer textured back plate references Van Gogh's use of line. The organic silhouettes of the olive branches allude to the organic nature of the fossilized resin itself.
Truly a special brooch for any significant occasion. This natural beauty could be gifted with love to celebrate the birth of a child, mark a memorable anniversary, or an engagement promise.
A one of a kind, handmade piece by Christina Lowry. 'The Secret of the Olive Grove' brooch features a 34mm round translucent cabochon Amber, set in solid Sterling Silver and stamped 925. The back plate is saw pierced by hand and the design is visible through the gem. The brooch is secured with a strong pin. This piece will come packaged in a drawstring pouch and bubble wrap for protection.


Sold.
