“Petronel” Brooch

Unique art brooch made out of the pages of the book Petronel by Florence Marryat. A unique piece made of paper with dimensions of brooch : 7cm x 3cm x 2cm. Each jewelry piece is accompanied by the book it was made from.

Jeremy May has captured the beauty of paper via a unique laminating process. Littlefly paper jewelry is made by laminating hundreds of sheets of paper together, then carefully finishing to a high gloss. The paper is selected and carefully removed from a book, and the jewelry re-inserted in the excavated space.

Each piece is impossible to replicate and is unique to the wearer. The beauty of the jewels extends within the piece: text and images pass all the way through the object, only exposed at the surfaces – giving a tantalizing glimpse of the book within.
