Color In Orbit Brooch P08982-P04804 With 18k gold connectionsLaser engraved, powder coated aluminum is hand painted with liquid enamel. This brooch carries color like a conversation starter. Dots pulse. Lines curve with intention. Metallic warmth peeks through the brass setting, grounding the play with structure. The basswood core keeps it lightweight. The brass frame gives it backbone. Every mark is placed by hand, making each piece a small declaration of pattern and precision. Secures with a safety clasp.
