Pin 1935 - 1942

"Pin" is a design for a brooch by John Garay created between 1935 and 1942. The design, rendered in pencil and watercolor, shows the brooch from three angles. The intricate, interlaced pattern of the brooch evokes a sense of Celtic or medieval design, highlighting the enduring appeal of traditional motifs in modern jewelry. The detail of the pin's back is particularly interesting, revealing how the clasp would have been attached. Garay, a prolific artist born in 1855 and active until his death in 1995, was known for his elegant jewelry designs.
