Etched Mountain Brooch - Ash Hilton

A tiny mountain scene features on this slender sterling silver brooch, picked out in darkened lines against the softly worked surface of the metal.

Handmade by Ash Hilton in New Zealand, whose material-led approach brings together ethical sourcing, understated design and the individual character of making by hand.

The landscape is chiselled into the silver by hand, with oxidised details defining the mountain peaks, trees and contours of the scene. Its long, narrow proportions give the imagery an almost panoramic quality, while the irregularity of the hand-worked marks keeps the piece feeling loose and individual. A beautifully understated brooch with plenty of detail to discover up close.
