Surrealist Lock Statement Brooch

Unlock the Mystery of Your Silhouette.

Step out of the ordinary and into the realm of wearable art. Inspired by the bold, avant-garde spirit of the surrealist couture movement of mid-century Paris, this oversized golden lock is more than a brooch—it is a conversation starter, a modern relic born from the essence of Surrealism.

Premium Craftsmanship & Material: Unlike hollow, mass-produced alloy accessories, this piece is meticulously crafted from High-Grade Solid Brass. This provides a satisfying, substantial weight—the hallmark of fine artisanal jewelry. It is then finished with a thick, lustrous layer of 18K Gold, delivering the authentic, deep radiance of real gold that catches the light with unparalleled warmth.

Tactile Artistry: The unique hand-hammered texture creates a mesmerizing interplay of light and shadow, reminiscent of museum-quality artifacts. Each ridge and dip is a tribute to sculptural beauty, ensuring your piece is as unique as the history it represents.

Styling Tips: Due to its grand scale and rich weight, we recommend styling this masterpiece on structured garments: a sharp wool blazer, the revers of a trench coat, or heavy-knit sweaters. It is designed to be the undeniable centerpiece of your ensemble.

Q: Will the product look exactly like the photos?
A: Since each piece from The Civilis is handcrafted, no two are identical. We use natural gallery lighting to capture our jewelry as accurately as possible. However, due to different screen calibrations and the artisanal nature of our gold-plating process, subtle variations in tone and texture may occur. These are not flaws, but the unique soul of handmade art.
