Beloved Memories #4  reflect my deep affection for my aunt.

In addition to her career, she was a passionate sculptor. Near the end of her life, my brother and I visited her in hospice. We spent a special afternoon reminiscing. My aunt revived my childhood dream and gave me an extraordinary inheritance.

The brooch is one of five in the Beloved Memories series, which received first prize for Design and Craftsmanship at the 2017 Jewelry Award, where the theme was Precious.

To me, Precious is the wisdom, encouragement, advice, and love that shaped me. Each brooch expresses the feelings linked to a loved one. By displaying the brooches as a group of picture frames, I emphasise their connection to my loved ones and memories.

I cut the peach selenite and handcrafted the stand.
