Austrian Metal Art | Gecko Brooch (Gold)

Austrian Metal Art

Artist: Hiyoshi Katayama

Inspired by the beauty of "Klosterarbeiten," a traditional Austrian craft, the artist expresses the gentleness, charm, and strength of nature through delicate coiled wirework.

Each original design is like a "wearable piece of art."
Not only can these creations be worn as accessories, but they can also be displayed as interior decor, adding an artistic touch to any space.

The gender-neutral and sophisticated designs enhance the individuality of those who wear them.
Additionally, the wires used are coated with pure gold or silver, developing a unique antique-like patina over time.

"May each piece bring a little more richness to your daily life."
With this sentiment, every piece is meticulously handcrafted.

Austrian Metal Art | Gecko Brooch (Gold)

This gecko brooch is one of the artist’s signature works.
In Japan, geckos are called "Yamori" (家守), which means "house protector." They are believed to bring good fortune, as they live on walls and windows, keeping homes free from harmful insects.

This piece is crafted using gold-coated wire, giving it an elegant shine. Over time, it will develop an antique-like patina, adding depth and character to its appearance. A delicate ribbon adorns the neck, adding a subtle touch of charm.

Its simple yet refined design makes it a versatile accessory that pairs well with both casual and formal styles.
