Magnetic Aluminum Brooch by Laura Wilson Gallery

Handmade jewelry by Laura Wilson Gallery; paintings, magnetic non-pierced and pierced earrings, eyeglass holders, and brooch

I know you've missed me since I quit doing shows. Thought you might like to know that I have a website on Etsy here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/Laur...

As you know I've been making magnetic earrings and non-pierced earrings since the 1980's, and at one point, a customer at an art show asked if I could make brooches.

I thought about it for a while and these are some of my creations. I like working in aluminum, because
of the brilliant colors and the minimal weight.

Two strong neodymium magnets serve as a magnetic clasp to hold in on a jacket,
blouse or scarf without damaging the fabric. One magnet is attached to the
piece; the other goes inside your clothing. It is very light and easy to put on
and take off. It's great for scarves because it doesn't put any holes in them, so you can wear it on your
favorite scarf without damage. Each piece is one of a kind. Feel free
to custom order something similar in any color of the rainbow and then some. I
have them all. I make each piece by hand in the USA, and sign and date it.
