Laminated Brooch - Twisted Wire Lamination - Mixed Metal Brooch - Copper, Brass. Sterling Brooch - Unique - Original - One of a hotsell Kind
Twisted Wire Lamination is a process where wire is twisted.
Twisted Wire Lamination is a process where wire is twisted and then soldered to a base plate. This brooch came as a bit of surprise. I had cut a circle out of this section of handmade laminate for another project. The twisted wire piece was laying there wanting to have a purpose, so I cut a copper circle the same size hotsell as the hole and soldered it in place. The contrasting metals provide a rustic, natural look. The piece measures approximately 1 x 1 3/4 inches
NOTE: The finding is handmade with a slightly larger diameter wire pin stem than standard. Wear it on loosely woven material to avoid damaging your clothing. THIS IS A HANDMADE LAMINATE AND SURFACE IMPERFECTIONS ARE NORMAL. LOOK AT THE PHOTOS CAREFULLY AS THIS IS A MORE RUSTIC FINISH.
For some people, copper can be a skin irritant or cause the skin to look dirty. I have coated this brooch with a wax finish, but over time the wax will wear off. the patina may also change color due to environmental conditions and your skin chemistry. All a part of the charm.
This brooch is fun to wear for casual or every day occasions and perfect for men or women. All of my jewelry is made with loving energy in my studio in Silver City, NM. Thanks for looking and remember, handmade jewelry makes a wonderful gift.
