Aff Brooch
This brooch by artist and industrial designer Samuel Guillen is inspired by the ancient cultures that held a deep reverence for animal imagery as symbols of the divine. Amulets taking the form of a fly were worn in ancient Egypt as a means of protection and empowerment, for both the living and the dead. Guillen constructed the Aff brooch out of polished silver tubing, adorned with intricate floral blooms and finished with a 14-karat yellow gold pin. This piece was featured in Divinations, an NYC Jewelry Week 2025 exhibition at Specific Gravity. Guillen studied jewelry at the 92nd Street Y Jewelry Center and has been a member of Brooklyn Metal Works since 2014. He is currently based in Brooklyn, NY.
