Forge & Finish

Dilated Brooch was inspired by fashion designers such as Rae Kawakubo and Ann Demeulemeester. This sterling silver brooch's domed base adds dimension to the wearer's ensemble using a magnetic form of clasp, the rounded backing disappearing under the wearer's clothes, leaving the minimalist domed top on the exterior.

Forge & Finish is culturally diverse, women owned and operated company intentionally focused on keeping things small.
