Description

I want shy people to wear a tiny bit of art, beautiful and unique, that embraces their shyness. I want people who are less shy to see it and to ask them about it, and understand that, with a little bit of patience and perseverance, this person has plenty to say and is brave and is confident.

This beautifully crafted brooch is based on a hand painted design and is created to empower the wearer.

Need to know

Made using the traditional cloisonné hard enamel method, meaning each brooch is unique, hard wearing and valuable - a perfect tribute to shyness. Each limited edition brooch is presented in a hand printed and numbered gift box. Each badge is 25mm in diameter.

Cloisonné refers to the thin metal strips that form a design and separate areas of colour. Traditionally, the enamel is glass enamel coloured by natural mineral pigments. The enamel is layered up and fired and eventually buffed smooth. Since the colours are determined by the mineral ore they can vary and the production method is lengthy, costly and can result in very slight variations, but the results are extremely high quality and hard wearing. Not many people opt for the traditional cloisonné method these days, its unpredictability and cost make it less attractive than modern enamel which can be Pantone-matched and churned out. Let’s help keep this traditional enamelling method alive.
