Matsu brooch Design Concept The design symbolizes the supple beauty of pine branches and their life force. Each leaf is represented by a delicate metal thread, reinterpreting the permanence and toughness of the pine tree as a fashion accent. Simple yet commanding, this brooch is a timeless accessory that blends traditional Japanese beauty with modern style. Materials and Craftsmanship The brooch is made of silver with a gold-filled center, and is carefully crocheted by the designer's expert hand. The design is characterized by a balance of delicacy and strength at the point where each line intersects with the other, creating a different look depending on the angle from which it is viewed. Comfort and Styling Lightweight yet three-dimensional, the Matsu Brooch can be easily attached to any outfit. It can be worn with everything from a classic shirt collar to a casual denim jacket to an elegant evening gown. It adds a sophisticated accent to both everyday and special occasion ensembles.
