Memory

Memory is a sterling silver brooch inspired by traditional mourning jewelry, created with the donated precious materials by Kessler’s Diamonds and piano wire. It has hammered texture in reference to the piano hammers that hit the keys as it is played. Inside the recess of the silver surface, a centerpiece is prong set with a faux weave of piano string, which imitates the weaving of a loved one’s hair in mourning jewelry. The steel wire that holds the brooch on is also made from one of the higher toned piano wires.
