Safe-Keeping: A Vault For Homesick Hearts Brooch

Megan McGuinn, Safe-Keeping: A Vault For Homesick Hearts Brooch

Sterling silver

2 x 2 x 1/3 inch

"Held close to the heart for safe-keeping—a physical reminder of absence, a psychic touchpoint. This brooch doubles as a locket, the most sentimental of jewelry typologies. Rendered in solid sterling silver as a modern, gestural take on the crowned Georgian heart. The locket may accommodate two photos, or serve as a reliquary for small mementos. The familiar form of a safety pin is elevated with a faceted, deco motif that contrasts the shapeliness of the heart. Each component may be worn independently." - Megan McGuinn
