Menorah Fibula
Fibula brooch: responsibly sourced sterling silver, ethically sourced Utah (USA) variscite, repurposed cultured freshwater pearl, repurposed carnelian cabochon, ethically sourced parti sapphire from the Queensland Gemfields.
The Menorah Fibula is a large brooch created in celebration of our Jewish culture and history, especially through its symbolism of shining the light of hope, warmth, and strength in dark and uncertain times. The seven branched candelabrum is an ancient Jewish symbol tied inextricably to our people’s history, religion, culture, community, and land.
The presentation of the Menorah in the form of a fibula references the history of our family in North Africa. In Algeria, Jews and Muslims alike traditionally wore large silver fibula brooches to fasten clothing and suspend other items of jewellery in accordance with varied, rich, and spiritually significant customs.
Approximate dimensions: 5.8cm x 11cm.
*Please note that the silver pin that fastens this fibula is 1.2mm thick and therefore works best on looser woven fabrics such as linen or wool.
