A little more detail…

Wolf brooch – handmade and recycled spoon jewellery.

Each one of these special brooches is handmade from an old unwanted vintage spoon. Using a marker pen a quick inspired sketch is dropped on to the surface of the spoon. I then meticulously carve away the design with a traditional hand engraving tool and cut details using a traditional jewellers saw. Once the details are cut the brooch is given an extremely bright polishing which really brings the untameable wolf spirit to life.

The image of a wolf howling at the moon evokes the untamed spirit of the wilderness and a deep connection to primal instincts. It can connects to a longing for freedom and a yearning to break free from the confines of civilization.

The lone wolf, often depicted in stark silhouette against the moon, can represent feelings of isolation, loneliness, and separation from the pack or society. Yet, it’s a powerful symbol of resilience and the strength found in navigating life’s journey independently.

Wolves howl to communicate with their pack, locate one another, and announce territory. They are often associated with intuition and instinct, particularly in Native American cultures where the howl can be a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms. The moon itself is linked to intuition, dreams, and the cycles of life, adding to the spiritual significance of the scene. The howling wolf, enveloped by the moonlit night, evokes a sense of mystery and the unknown, inviting exploration of the subconscious mind and hidden truths.

The duality of the act is wonderful. The stance of a howling wolf suggests strength, defiance, and a refusal to be silenced, representing the courage to voice one’s convictions or face adversity. Whilst at the same time the mournful sound of a howl can evoke a sense of melancholy or yearning for something lost or unattainable.

The wolf’s purposeful movement into the wilderness can signify a rejection of social constraints and an embrace of the primitive, instinctual side of human nature.

As I hand cut each wolf individually to order every one is completely unique and unusual. They look and feel special.  The engraved ‘off-cut’ spoon is included with the brooch
