This Sequined Lace Stud Brooch has a single stud button shaft in the center.  We decided we want to produce it with two shafts so that this particular closure may be used to close the two sides of a closure or a wrap.  So we are making the single-shaft prototypes available to you while we revise the design.

The Sequined Lace Brooch design was originally made from a piece of lace that I stiffened with starch and then painted with a copper paint.  The copper-painted lace was then attached to a copper wire and then dipped in a copper-suspension bath that was electrified so that the copper suspension would attach to the copper paint and create a layer of metal with that original lace still inside. I sent those metal pieces - the copper-coated lace - to Agus, my collaborator, in Bali and now, years and years later, he made them into stud buttons as well as these conventional brooches. We are not going to release the conventional brooches, but instead focus on the stud button form. This means you get the opportunity to purchase these one-of-a-kind pieces.
