Brooch

Designer Harold O'Connor American

Not on view

A technical virtuoso, Harold O'Connor made his first jewelry in a metalwork course his senior year at the University of New Mexico before going on to study the craft in Denmark, Finland, Germany and Austria. The author of several books on jewelry making, he now works in near-isolation in the Colorado Rockies, where he draws inspiration from the old mines and minerals therein. Spectrolite, the shard selected for this bow-shaped brooch, however, comes from Finland.
