This brooch features a hand-pierced brass chameleon resting on a cast sterling silver branch, a small guardian of shifting light and color. Its body carries soft green patinas and warm brass undertones, echoing the subtle transformations found in nature. A deep black onyx eye gives the creature a sense of awareness—watchful, almost knowing.
The branch beneath is cast in sterling silver, textured like weathered wood, and accented with copper leaves that catch the light in warm flashes of gold, ember, and flame. A tube-set faceted peridot adds a small spark of green—like new growth emerging at the edge of the scene.
Balancing organic form with careful craftsmanship, each element is hand fabricated and composed into a miniature landscape. The piece measures approximately 2" x 3" (5.1 x 7.6 cm), making it a striking wearable sculpture—part jewelry, part story.
