Hinge & Gutter jewellery takes inspiration from books, illustrations, and the stranger side of things...

Original collages created by merging elements from old medical illustrations, storybooks, vintage advertising and random finds, open up this strangely familiar and oddly comforting world.

The linked brooch is a piece of wearable art that can be worn in many ways: either side of a jacket/collar/cape/cardigan, across a shoulder, down a sleeve, on a hat, or just in the classic way on a lapel!

Made from laser-cut and etched wood, the hand-finished brooch parts are linked by an antique bronze chain with matching brooch pin-backs.
