About the Item

Slide Hair Pin in Yellow Bronze by Kirsten Muenster Jewelry. Dimensions: W 1 x H 15.2 cm. Materials: Yellow bronze with verdigris patina; polished edges A strong, balanced, and elegantly tapered hair pin, designed to secure a bun or twist all day. The unusual form nods to the organic symmetry of spiraling shells and embowed branches. Like an ancient relic, the yellow bronze patina evolves with wear, while the polished edges stay bright along the carved spiral. Cast in yellow bronze using the lost-wax method, the hair stick begins as a wax model hand-carved at the bench. Hair ornaments can instantly elevate a look — wear a single stick or mix two different designs for an unexpected pairing. Kirsten's sculptural jewelry is known for its hand-carved Organic Architecture, where the structural mass of Brutalism meets the asymmetry and slow weathering of the natural world. Every piece begins as a wax carved by hand in her San Francisco studio, then cast in bronze, silver, or gold through the lost-wax process. No CAD. No shared catalog of parts. No two stones alike. Stones are sourced for their unusual inclusions, color and cut rather than carat or clarity. Patinas continue to evolve with age. The work is a celebration of nature coupled with a commitment to originality. Pieces are produced one of a kind or in small runs, and for galleries and design rooms, the work reads as object before accessory. About the artist Kirsten Muenster's unusual statement pieces blur the line between jewelry, sculpture, and object. Working in her San Francisco studio, she hand-carves in wax and casts in bronze, silver, and 10k gold using the lost-wax method. Made in limited editions or one-of-a-kind, each piece is hand finished and signed by the artist. A fourth-generation metalsmith, Muenster works from a single underlying logic she terms Organic Architecture, finding the same structural sense in pods, seedheads, and plant systems as in Brutalist buildings, and translating both into original abstracted forms rather than literal castings. The work draws on wabi-sabi principles: imperfection, asymmetry, the trace of process, and slow-design principles.
