Waves and pearls. A layered agate, cut with waveforms, set in silver and accompanied by black keshi pearls. On a handknit pebble jumper, also by Christine, The Artist Goldsmith.
Pounamu - Greenstone. The nephrite jade found in New Zealand (and, I am told, Canada) has high value for Māori. This brooch was a gift from David’s father to his wife (D’s mother!) and was passed down. Soft, undulating curves, accentuated by wave forms in gold.

Wearing my ‘Roofline’ brooch in 18ct yellow and white gold. With a stone arrowhead from Tirol and a golden pearl, with a tiny diamond. Whilst many contemporary fabrics are too thin for heavy brooches, two layers (shirt and jumper) offer ample support; many compliments received! David.
