A unique vintage 1970s signed handmade electroformed sterling silver dimensional geometric design brooch. Entirely handmade hand carved then electro formed sterling silver geometric brooch that is dimensional almost 3D! Possibly a one of a kind piece of vintage modernist wearable art! Electroformed jewelry is created by using an electrical current to deposit a layer of metal, often copper, onto a non-metallic object, like a leaf, crystal, or wax form. This unique process results in distinctive, lightweight, and intricate hollow metal pieces that can be polished or left with a raw, organic look. The technique allows jewelers to create durable, statement pieces with the appearance of solid metal but with a significantly lighter weight than traditional casting. This brooch measures 2.5" long by 1.5" widest point, and weighs 12.6 grams total. Hand etched signature at back that looks to me like "Alan Hughes" and "925" for sterling silver. I have no further information about the maker, but obviously a technically proficient craftsman, and a talented designer! Excellent vintage condition.
