Handmade out of .999 fine silver, this brooch is highly textured to allow the captured wires to really stand out. In Stitches represents absolutely nothing except for an abstract design, which leads itself to a conversation piece and shows the cool things you can accomplish using cold connections. The Argentium sterling silver wires are held in place with Irish waxed linen thread. The entire pin, if you measure from wire tips and include the handmade Argentium sterling silver pin, is approximately 2" tall by 2-1/4" wide. By Lisa.
