1970's Brutalist Molten Shard Brooch With Trombone Clasp

There's so much to adore about this 1970s Parisian brooch.

It features a bold, asymmetrical "shard" silhouette, typical of the Brutalist movement of the time. It's finished in a rich molten gold tone that enhances that crinkled, organic texture, and it fastens with a trombone clasp.

Cleverly hollow-cast, it won't weigh down your outfits, making it a joy to wear and even better to style. Pin it horizontally or vertically on a heavy coat lapel, a thick winter scarf, or a sharp blazer to instantly elevate your look.
