White Swan brooch in white Petrified wood Back of the White Swan brooch

White Swan Brooch in Petrified wood

Medium: New Zealand white Petrified Wood.

Dimensions: 36 mm x 55 mm x 5.8 mm

Year: 2009

Sold.

This piece was inspired by watching the classic version of the iconic ballet swan lake. I had recently purchased the white petrified wood which is a gorgeous piece of stone and made a connection. I don't often make brooches but this design suited a backing rather than a hanging suspension. I have produced a black swan in top quality Australian jade, which is also on this website.

This is a very rare stone, usually Petrified woods are brown but this is the exception to the rule.
