Shell brooch by Alen Dione

This vintage brooch by Alen Dione, a Catalan designer, captures the essence of 1980s sculptural elegance. Shaped like a stylized shell, the brooch features a flowing, organic design composed of three curved, spoon-like forms that cascade in perfect harmony. Though the piece is impressively thick and solid-looking, it is hollow, ensuring it remains lightweight and does not weigh down clothing—a thoughtful design touch. It is equipped with a distinctive push-pull safety clasp, securely anchoring it to fabric. Best styled on a structured garment like a zip-up jacket, this brooch is a striking, wearable piece of design history.
