Collection concept:
Everyone has preconceived notions and stereotypes. How do people react when these are overturned? The brooches, lined up like chocolates, are made of aluminum and can be worn apart, one row at a time. And the moment you lift it up, everyone looks amazed. The reason is that it has a soft texture, as if it were melted. Because the stereotypes people have about metals are generally the same, this is a new kind of jewelry that allows you to feel the gap between the visual and tactile senses. A stainless steel plate with magnetic force is attached to both ends, and can be fixed by simply clamping it between clothes with magnets.
