Salmon Brooch

The Salmon Brooch, a part of the Origen collection, was inspired by a fragment from one of my grandmother's books. As a child, I would spend hours mesmerized by its pages. Many years later, I stumbled upon the book and discovered the life story of the inspiring Salmon, which gave rise to this piece.

This brooch is to remind us that our journey towards our desired destinations often involves a beautiful (and sometimes not so easy) transformative process.

 Each jewel is made entirely by hand, through a dedicated creation process; and can also be personalised with the metal of your choice. For information and customisation: unalineajewellery@gmail.com

¨(...) The life of the salmon begins in a red-coloured egg (...) After about two years spent in the vicinity of its birthplace, one day it feels, like all salmon of its age, a travelling impulse and, together with many of its companions, it sets off downstream towards the sea.When the little fish tastes the sea water, its hesitation ceases. It turns its head towards the sea and disappears. For many years no one has known where the salmon goes when it goes out to sea.(...) But after an interval that can last from one to five years, it will reappear in front of the mouth of the same river where it was born. An extraordinary mutation has taken place in it.¨ (From the book Maravillas y Misterios del Mundo Animal)
