This colorful fine art jewelry is both dramatic and playful. Bridging the worlds of contemporary and tribal art while utilizing nontraditional materials, it represents the best in the current studio jewelry movement. This jewelry is made of silver frames with a mosaic inlay of glass beads and/or glass cane. The glass elements are bonded in a matrix of tile grout or wax encaustic, as described under the heading Design Process. Spring loaded, tie tack fasteners are used, rather than traditional bar pin backs, to keep the brooch flat and stable on a garment with no risk of loss.
