Original "Give a Damn" Cicada, 2016, Sterling Silver, Copper and Emerald Brooch
This is a little off brand but recently I was alerted that a few of my pieces have come up for sale online through an estate sales organization . Out of curiosity I took a look and ended up re-aquiring this piece. I have explored the “Give a Damn” Cicada brooch a couple of different times throughout my practice but this is the first and original piece made in 2016. The brooch is made of reticulated sterling silver fused onto copper, a sand cast sterling silver branch and two beautiful 4.5mm natural emerald cabochons. The wings are pierced with the words “give a damn”. The piece measures approximately 4x3” and signed and hallmarked (I didn’t date pieces in this period) I did spruce up the patina and replace the spring steel pin. The piece comes in its original printed linen bag. Complimentary tracked and insured USPS Ground Advantage shipping within the US.
