Eadweard Muybridge Woman Dancing Photography Unisex Brooch

This large, quirky unisex brooch features a detailed black and white reinterpretation of Woman Dancing (Fancy), the iconic 1887 photographic plate by pioneer artist Eadweard Muybridge. Professionally handmade on sustainable wood with a secure silver steel protective clasp, this unique piece of wearable art blends vintage history of photography with an eccentric, contemporary style that elevates any outfit.

The design captures a graceful motion sequence originally published in the historic Animal Locomotion series. Measuring approximately 4.5cm x 4.5cm with a depth of 4/5mm, the back of the brooch is carefully covered with premium black felt to protect your coats and delicate clothes. It is the perfect cultural statement jewellery piece, making it a surprising and uncommon photographer gift, a meaningful present for a dance teacher, or a refined accessory for lovers of the dark academia aesthetic.

In my personal studio in Granada, Spain, I handle every step of the creation process, far removed from the ethos of mass production. Because I craft each lightweight brooch entirely by hand using sustainable FSC-certified wood and a protective transparent varnish, no two pieces are ever exactly identical. Small imperfections are a natural feature of my manual workmanship, underscoring the authentic identity of each creation. For a complete look, this piece can be beautifully paired with its matching adjustable ring.

I am deeply committed to responsible production and the preservation of the planet. By choosing my sustainable wood jewellery, you actively support conscious commerce and environmental respect. Light and flat, this brooch is easy to send by mail to a friend who lives far away. It arrives enclosed in an elegant design envelope, ready to be presented as an original birthday or holiday gift.
