Part of the Tradescant series of 3 brooches, based on the shape of an object in The Ark (the Tradescant collection of curiosities from their 17th century travels) at the Garden Museum in London. You can see it in the last picture. You can find out more about them in my instagram post here.
The black diamond beads, half-hidden amongst the black weeds, sparkle when they catch light.
