Sterling silver, 18K yellow gold granulation, bone
Harold O'Connor's carved bone brooch makes reference to the talismanic nature of primitive jewellery, while showing how our perception of an organic material may be transformed through the maker's vision and skill. Using hand carved cow bone inlayed with 18K gold which includes granulation, O'Connor astounds us once again with a moment in time, in his artistic career, with a striking expression of adornment.
