In Mexico, a Mayan legend tells of two lovers who had an impossible love. One of them was sentenced to death. To save him, a shaman transformed him into a beetle. The Mayan princess then decorated the beetle with jewels, enabling her to keep her lover close to her hear. This legend has endured, and i
n Mexico you can find beetle decorated with stones and attached to small chains to transform them into living brooches.
From a desire to bring movement and life to normally inanimate objects, the makesh brooch reinterprets the legend using the qualities of Ceramaret ceramics.
