Hidden Details

by Frieda Lühl

A few weeks back I stumbled across this exhibition on the internet 'Behind the Brooch' curated by Lorena Angulo. It shows a collection of brooches from all over the world where the backside is as interesting as the front. Have a look at the post I put on my page.

I thought it a brilliant concept and became more aware of how the pieces we make and see look from its more hidden sides. Details only the wearer of a piece will know.

I personally love it when someone picks up my pieces and experiences a moment of surprise or joy by discovering something unexpected, a hidden little detail, a beautiful backside of a piece of jewellery.
Here are a few pieces of our Fine Ounce Goldsmiths that bear these hidden little secrets.
