About the Item

We're coining a new phrase ... tiki chic! That's right ... a combination of island kitsch and glamorous style. And where better to start than this statement making brooch by Mimi di N in the form of bamboo rods thatched together to form a starburst style shape. The bamboo rods combine both silver and gold tone metal which provides dimension and versatility. Add a little tropical vibe to your look any time of the year. Outfitted with straight pin and safety catch hardware. Hallmarked at the back. ABOUT THE DESIGNER Mimi di Niscemi started her career as a jewelry designer both working for the manufacturer that produced Schiaparelli designs as well as Arnold Scaasi.
