About the Item

Beetle is a brooch created from sterling silver and oak. Much of David's work embraces the craft of metalsmithing and its collected history of techniques and objects. The resulting works rendered in metal and mixed media are vehicles to communicate ideas surrounding identity, narrative, and forays into material and process-based work.

The brooch measures 3" x 1.5" x 3/8".
