Heart-shaped Brooch

22K GOLD, 2026

The form draws on annular and related medieval brooches used across Europe to hold garments together. These objects often operated beyond utility, carrying symbolic and communicative weight. Here, that logic is extended: the relationship between form and function becomes central to meaning. The fastening mechanism, like the heart-shaped sign itself, can be read as a structure of connection rather than mere closure. The use of high-karat gold reinforces this condition, emphasizing durability and the value attributed both to the object and to what it represents.
