The Intersection Effect, Aleksandra Vali's one-of-a-kind brooch that features two freshwater pearls and a 6.8ct blue topaz, is a beautiful intricate pattern that can be interpreted many ways. The 3.4" x 0.6" x 0.3" brooch is handmade by carving, casting and fabricating from 18k yellow gold and sterling silver. According to Aleksandra, "whether the connections are temporary or enduring, gossamer thin or hard as steel, the connection itself gives life more meaning. Some relationships provide an opportunity to fuse energies and discover the power in connections."
