Dreiländereck Brooch / Pendant - B003

Dreiländereck Brooch of Basel - Copyright Kerstin Laibach

 

A culturally significant sculptural jewellery design by Kerstin Laibach.
Dreiländereck is the tri-border point of the Rhine river in the central European city of Basel (Basle) where France, Switzerland and Germany meet. As with all Laibach pieces, this captivating work is entirely handmade, using a surface gathered stone and recycled materials, with no detrimental environmental effects. A 10 percent donation from the sale of this "geographically unifying" piece goes to TRUZ (Tri-National Environmental Organisation) (Germany Switzerland and France) for re-naturing and conservation projects in the south Rhine region.

Dreiländereck Brooch of Basel - Copyright Kerstin Laibach The central feature of Dreiländereck is a locally-gathered satin-black Rhine stone set in silver with a graduated wave of infused 24ct fine gold.
Although the triangular structure is flat, it can give the illusion of dimensional depth.

Dimensions ...
Stone section length: 83.84mm
Bottom of triangle length: 91.3mm
Bottom center to top of triangle (height): 77.22mm
Weight: 45.31g


Contact Kerstin Laibach for pricing and to arrange a consultation.

The back of Dreiländereck also reveals attention to detail typical of Kerstin Laibach's work.
A handmade double pin attachment prevents drooping when pinned to a garment and includes a flip-stop for easier pinning. The piece also looks stunning when hung as a pendant by looping your desired cord or chain though the top of the triangle. Also stands at a perfect angle for displaying.
