This unique brooch is handcrafted using traditional Metalsmithing techniques. Teresa incised and chased patterns into the sheet metal, which she then cuts out with a jeweler's saw, and then forms the undulating shapes into the flat metal using hammers and mandrels. Reproduced in small batches to create multiples to be set with gems of choice.
" I relish finding design solutions for my ideas, working in metal; I enjoy the resist of the medium. " Teresa, T and Brie
