Ammonite Inspired Inlaid Brooch

Inlaid 14K white, 18K red & yellow gold in shakudo, 18K yellow gold, fossilized ammonite, agate beads.

Circa 1992

Shape and inspiration guide this brooch as Adell worked with the marriage of metals to mimic the natural beauty of the ammonite, in this one of a kind brooch. Agate beads arc the ammonite and bring this composition to its resting place. 

Adell made each stone by hand, comprised of two sheets of metal using several techniques of marrying shakudo with colors of gold to make poetic pebbles that grace this brooch and every piece in our Contemporary Estate collection.
