This sterling silver and mixed media brooch is from a limited series of 100 brooches created to honor the historic glass prisms in downtown Astoria’s sidewalks. The glass installed in the sidewalks 100 years ago was originally colorless, but after decades of UV exposure it has changed to the amethyst color seen today. The glass used in these brooches was salvaged from a discarded panel of sidewalk vault lights.

Brooch dimensions: approximately 1.25” x 1.25”
