About the Item

A fine modern Joan Parcher brooch. From the "Phosphene" series. With small glass beads applied to a vitreous enameled bent copper disc. (Formed in the shape of an outward projection of a square). The reverse has a sterling silver X-shaped prong setting and pin stem. Signed with an etched signature for Joan Parcher. Joan Parcher is well known for her vitreous enameled copper jewelry. This brooch is a part of her "Phosphene" series, which refers to sparkles of light that are produced by rubbing one’s closed eyes. Parcher has had a long time fascination with sparkle and shine and its connection to industrial detritus, which she attributes to her grandparents working in glass factory near Pittsburg when she was a child.
