Jewel of the day: Shinji Nakaba Aluminum Hydrangea Brooch

Madonna famously dissed a fan who dared to give her a huge bouquet of hydrangeas (Madge hates ’em, wouldn’t you know) but I was enthralled wandering through the web site of Japanese artist Shinji Nakaba, So many amazing pieces from which to choose, and I settled on this huge and luscious hydrangea, made of aluminum, of all things.

It sells for 56,000 Japanese Yen (about USD $573 at the time of writing; Nakaba has thoughtfully provided a currency converter on each item’s page so you can check for yourself if interested).

Just don’t tell Madonna.
