Iro Kaskani

Iro Kaskani’s brooch captures the beauty of natural decay, transforming it into something fragile and enduring. A porous honeycomb-like form resembling coral bone or eroded stone rests within a simple geometric metal frame. The contrast between the organic weathered texture and the rigid structured setting highlights the tension between nature and design. The brooch feels as though it has been found, crafted as though it was unearthed rather than made.

Kaskani’s work thrives on curiosity using material exploration to push the boundaries of traditional jewelry. Here, the piece invites touch and close inspection. Its pitted surface reveals layers of color, texture, and depth. The open metal frame acts like a quiet support, allowing the natural form to take center stage. This balance between fragility and structure speaks to Kaskani’s interest in creating jewelry that feels both personal and timeless.
