Brass + Black Ball Necklace. Handmade by brass+bold in London.

About the maker:

brass+bold was founded by Elsa Gomez and creates affordable, wearable jewellery with a conscience. Based on recycled brass, brass+bold sources quality beautiful materials creating unique, simple and striking designs.

Brass is extremely versatile and is one of the most recycled metals in the world. It can continually perform in a circular economy without losing quality – what was yesterday’s tap or brass hinge can be readily recycled to create a favourite necklace or earring.

‘Elsa’s designs evoke and retain such a unique style and quality because she allows the materials to do the talking. It is the subtle or abrupt combination of shape, colour, form and equilibrium that grows from constant studio experimentation. Elsa’s garden studio is like a three-dimensional sketchbook. Full to the brim of materials and ideas waiting to become the next chosen piece or part of a new collection.’
