Brooch Reils

Floor Mommersteeg’s brooches are made entirely by hand with hot-worked Nylon thread to build unique light and very resistant pieces.
The Rails brooch is thin made up of two overlapping layers.
6.5 x 6.5cm; nylon and steel

Floor has developed and mastered a wide range of techniques, from melting to interweaving and flattening nylon thread using heat, resulting in detailed networks that make it possible for her to construct jewels and objects, light and resistant, translucent and shimmering, sometimes with the addition of color, in two or three dimensions, shapes that can be both angular and expressive and soft and poetic.
The coloring of the transparent material adds brilliance to the jewel.
