Concrete Bloom Brooch
Sterling Silver | Cubic Zirconia
 
A celebration of resilience in an urban landscape, the Concrete Bloom Brooch captures the quiet defiance of spring blooms pushing through the cracks of a concrete city. Crafted on the streets of Manchester, this piece is a tribute to the strength of nature and the poetry of place.
 
Each brooch is formed from sterling silver, its surface textured directly against the pavement, embedding the physical imprint of the environment into the metal. This raw, urban texture becomes a canvas for the bloom — a single cubic zirconia, set with intention, sparkling like a flower unfurling in the midst of concrete.
 
The brooch format offers a different kind of presence — more sculptural, more grounded — designed to be worn close to the body, as an emblem of nature’s quiet persistence. It transforms outerwear or textiles into part of the landscape, allowing the wearer to carry the essence of the city’s hidden growth with them.
 
The Concrete Bloom Brooch is not only adornment, but statement — a wearable sculpture forged in the street, balancing elegance with the grit of lived experience.
