Butterfly brooch

This piece presented an interesting challenge for Maria, who had been commissioned by a client to adapt a pair of inherited earrings to a modern style. The client did not particularly like the earrings but loved the colours. Studying it, Maria saw a butterfly emerging. She designed a sample and the client was immediately smitten by the idea. “Nature is the perfect inspiration to work with, giving wings to creativity and possibilities.”
