It's around 4 x 4 cms, I oxidized the wire and just relieved it back by burnishing, originally the whole thing was going to be a black- dark grey but I think it worked out better this way

Hiya Thanks, it kind of reminds me of the bottom of a mushroom The brief for this brooch was based on rocks and minerals, my inspiration was an unpolished/cleaned clinoclase mineral

This is absolutely beautiful.
Do you sell any of your jewellery on etsy.com (if not it's a great place for handmade gifts)
This reminds me of the underneath of a mushroom

Hi Pixie Queen

Thank you for the etsy link, I don't sell my jewellery there currently but I have bookmarked it....

As for the brooch, it feels a bit like the underneath of a mushroom too
