Dive into a mesmerising marine world with this extraordinary one-of-a-kind brooch, handcrafted in recycled sterling silver and brought to life using the delicate technique of plique-à-jour enamelling. Inspired by the tranquil beauty of the Mediterranean depths, this piece captures a miniature seascape where delicate coral-like forms drift among rippling waves of translucent, sea-toned enamel.
Tiny, hand-painted fishes are glimpsed through the shimmering blues. These joyful little swimmers add a playful burst of colour and charm, bringing movement and character to the scene.
When held to the light, the brooch glows like stained glass — thanks to the painstaking plique-à-jour method, where enamel is suspended between fine silver cells without any backing. The result is a luminous, light-filled artwork that feels as fluid and captivating as the Mediterranean Sea itself.
Sustainably crafted from recycled sterling silver, this piece is both a tribute to the natural world and a showcase of thoughtful, slow craftsmanship. Whether you're a lover of the sea, a collector of wearable art, or simply someone who delights in exquisite detail, “Under the Sea” is a treasure waiting to be discovered.
