Unicorn - Magnetic Brooch
This one-of-a-kind brooch is crafted using coil wires coated with pure silver—materials traditionally used in “Klosterarbeiten,” a form of Austrian devotional artwork.
The artist, Hiyoshi Katayama, personally handles the entire process from design to finishing.
While the piece carries the elegance of metal, the fine wirework gives it a delicate, lightweight texture with a unique presence.
Over time, the color deepens, adding an antique-like character that becomes part of its charm.
To match the world of the piece, it comes framed with washi paper in a custom frame.
When not worn, it can be displayed as a small artwork to enhance your space.
The clasp features a strong magnet, allowing you to wear it without putting holes in your clothes or bags.
The motif is connected to the magnet with a chain for extra safety, so you don't need to worry about losing it.
It's easy to attach, detach, and adjust the position—great for coats, hats, bags, and more.
