Melbourne-based artists Georgie Brooks and Juan Castro have come together to explore the threads of history, finding inspiration in cultures of the world that span back thousands of years.
Orfebre is the Spanish translation for ‘goldsmith’, a word that encapsulates the many skills, techniques and knowledge of this ancient craft. Their upcoming collaborative body of work will reference a cross section of ancient cultures, from the mysterious Bronze Age, to the Viking Era, and the ceremony of Spanish Catholicism.
The ‘Ostosia Star’ earrings by Georgie Brooks has been handcrafted with 18ct yellow gold and blue sapphire slices. The name ‘Ostosia’ means pioneering spirit.
