Hand polished to a crisscross finish, the Trondheim Brooch set, is a straight pin lapel style pin and clutch made with hypoallergenic, light, non-tarnish stainless steel.

Materials: Welded stainless steel

Dimensions: Large part: 50 mm x 20 mm | Medium part: 50 mm x 7mm | Small part: 20 mm x 10 mm

About the Makers: Founded in 2011, Days of August's signature look comes from it's unconventional use of industrial grade stainless steel - a metal not typically used to make jewellery - which meant reinventing and adapting traditional fabrication techniques to accommodate its solidity and strength.

Stainless steel perfectly complements the maker, Marie-Pier, design style - minimal and intentionally simple - and with it she creates architectural and contemporary statement pieces. Believing in timelessness over trends, he combines clean lines and considered composition to create wearable jewellery essentials that transcend the seasons.

With a focus on sustainability, Marie-Pier put in place eco-friendly practices from the start, and is now partnering with Ecologi to offset her environmental footprint, making Days of August a 100% carbon neutral business.

Studio Hacienda (2005–2008) was established in a factory space in Abbotsford by Blanche Tilden and Phoebe Porter following an Australia Council funded mentorship of Phoebe by Blanche in 2005.

The General Assembly brooches were developed as a series of designed and engineered component parts that, when assembled, are redolent of the built structures of Melbourne and Canberra.

Drawing inspiration from the philosophy of serial production demonstrated in the work of craftspeople such as Melbourne contemporary jeweller, Susan Cohn, and German master goldsmith, Friedrich Dau, Studio Hacienda have produced interchangeable components of varying colour, texture, form and material that are laid out in a "production line" ready pick'n'mix. Architectural details and signage found around Melbourne's CBD were starting points from which each design evolved. 

"General Assembly exemplifies Porter and Tilden's common ground: working in multiples, exploring the individual impulse to select, combine and adorn, alertness to the ubiquitous street styles that pulse through a city. It is a project that involves people in a lively, intelligent conversation through the object. That's Studio Hacienda." - Merryn Gates

About the Makers: Ferro Forma is the culmination of a long standing partnership between Alison Jackson and Dan Lorrimer. They are a metalsmithing workshop specialising in handcrafted small batch edition objects that capture the hand of the maker and the heritage of our craft.

Alison Jackson is a designer, maker and contemporary Silversmith based in Braidwood, Australia. Completing a Gold and Silversmithing degree at the Australian National University, Alison holds over two decades of artistic and technical metal forming expertise.

With an aesthetic best described as elegant, timeless, and minimal, Alison showcases her work through her fine jewellery, tableware, large scale installation, limited editions and exhibition work.

Alison’s work is held in both public and private collections, including a large acquisition by the Canberra Museum and Gallery. A recipient of numerous notable awards and grants,  Alison’s work has been exhibited widely within Australia and also internationally, including at Inhorgenta (Germany) and Milan Design Week (Italy). 

Dan Lorrimer is a contemporary sculptor, machinist, fabricator and toolmaker. With a degree in Sculpture from the Australian National University, Dan has since diversified his work, significantly developing his skills across a wide range of technical areas, specialising in metal forming.

Dan’s sculpture practice explores notions of movement, energy, solidity and illusion through minimalist sculptural forms, often located between the artificial and natural world. He has exhibited widely across Australia and has work held in private collections across the country.
