Cicada - Magnetic Brooch
This one-of-a-kind brooch is crafted with fine wires coated in real gold, traditionally used in “Klosterarbeiten,” a devotional art form from Austria.
Every piece is uniquely designed and meticulously handmade by the artist Hiyoshi Katayama.
While possessing the elegance of metal, the delicate coil wires create a remarkably light and graceful texture.
Over time, the color deepens, giving the brooch a beautiful, antique-like patina.
It comes with a custom frame lined with washi paper to complement its unique charm.
When not worn, it can be displayed as an art piece to enrich your space.
The brooch uses a strong magnet, allowing you to attach it without piercing fabric.
The motif and magnet are connected by a chain for easy positioning and secure wear—perfect for coats, hats, or bags.
