Artisan Wirework Brooch with Black Cabochon – Sculptural Design

A sculptural artisan brooch featuring an abstract botanical design, formed from flowing mixed-metal wirework and set with a polished black cabochon stone.

The piece has a handcrafted quality, with organic curves, textured metal elements, and a slightly asymmetrical form that gives it movement and character. The contrast between the dark central stone and the lighter metalwork creates a striking, wearable statement.

Likely studio-made, this brooch sits somewhere between jewellery and small-scale sculpture.

Details:

• Late 20th century

• Mixed metal construction (silver-tone and brass tones)

• Black cabochon stone (likely onyx or glass)

• Pin back fastening

Condition:

• Good vintage condition

• Minor surface wear consistent with age

• Handcrafted finish with visible soldering (part of its character)

A one-of-a-kind style piece—bold, organic, and quietly sculptural.
