A statement piece from The Wild - this hand-carved miniature kea is cast in solid bronze, and finished with a light blackened patina to bring out the rich textures of the feathers. 

The brooch catch and hinge are sturdy and the pin is made from 0.9mm sprung stainless steel.

Wingspan is 42mm. This brooch is made from solid metal so sits best on a sturdy fabric, the lapel of a coat or jacket or a thick scarf are perfect. 

The Wild Jewellery is the joint creative venture of Annie Collins and Vaune Mason. After many years of working side by side in the jewellery studio, these two artists decided to make things official and create work that was a fusion of their styles and interests. The Wild focuses on endangered or extinct animals, and precious natural resources of Aotearoa New Zealand. Their jewellery is crafted in solid sterling silver or warm bronze, with rich textures and stylish designs. Accents of native timbers, bone and stone are added to individual pieces.
