Bakuhatsu (爆発) Explosion Brooch

This steel brooch combines explosive energy with intricate surface detail. Fused with red and rose bronze powders, the steel develops a rich palette of fiery reds, warm copper tones, and deep shadows that animate the composition. Jagged, radiating forms contrast with fluid organic shapes, creating movement that expands outward from the center. At its heart, a magnifying lens backed with copper captures and concentrates light, forming a glowing focal point that draws the viewer inward. Balancing spontaneity with careful construction, the brooch evokes an eruption of energy suspended in time. Width = 4.5" Height = 2.5"

Care Instructions

While the jewelry has been sealed for protection, it is possible (though unlikely) that steel can rust if exposed to moisture. Store the jewelry away from moisture and avoid submerging it in any liquids. Avoid contact with perfumes, sunscreens or lotions. Occasionally rub a small amount of light oil into the surface.
