LOVE is a kinetic brooch that consists of silver, moonstone, garnet, and iolite. The jewel is distinctive with the capability to spin with body movement. The pivot structure allows it to delicately transform while wearing. The inspiration of LOVE is from a poem by Gibran. The base is etched with his poem about love, “Love gives naught but itself and takes naught but from itself. Love possesses not nor would it be possessed; For love is sufficient unto love.” The movement depicts love is selfless. Lovers attract to each other like planets revolving with gravity.
