Black & Gold Lover Brooch Pendant by Maria Juchnowska, 2016

About This Piece

Contemporary Design

To be able to wear a jewelry piece, Maria Juchnowska must fall in love with it or simply create it. Wearing jewelry makes a certain statement about who you are or who you aspire to be. A majority of people cannot get out of the box of comfortable everyday designs set up in well-known boutiques - with the exception of a select few.

Suckers and Lovers are black sheep from Juchnowska's art studio, made in sweat and sun, an emotional explosion of black porcelain strength and the power of gold and platinum complemented by various chains. Suckers and Lovers are only for the brave statement-makers.

This Lovers brooch pendant in black and gold has a 7 x 2.5 cm pendant and a black chain measuring 32 cm. Porcelain is one of the most durable, sustainable, and sophisticated materials used in contemporary jewelry.
