Cavea (23) Brooch
This is a Brooch. It was designed by Melanie Isverding. It is dated 2013 and we acquired it in 2022. Its medium is laser-cut, folded, and constructed silver elements, enamel, crushed hematite, glimmer, lacquer. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.
Isverding's jewelry exhibits her fascination with form, shape, and geometry. She creates repetitive spaces that are laser-cut and shaped into "pods" that hang from the brooch,filling the spaces with pulverized gemstones.
