Jewel of the day: Yeonmi Kang “The Rumor” brooch

Yeonmi Kang is a Korean jeweller whose award-winning work is widely exhibited. This brooch, called “The Rumor” is made of sterling silver and enamel. There are several eerily beautiful pieces currently available at Facere Jewelry Art Gallery in Seattle and I wish I could afford them all. This piece is marked “please enquire”; similar work is priced at USD $1500-1800.

  1. Art indeed! This brooch is definitely more of a sculpture than a jewel. Very interesting, great craftsmanship, although I wonder whether it is really wearable. What do you think?

    1. I actually do think this would be wearable with the right outfit. Probably something sturdy enough to support the pin (though it may not be all that heavy)…
