The Sun is a symbol that has appeared for centuries throughout art and design.

Brooke has long returned to imagery of the sun and its celestial rhythms to invigorate her jewellery, ground her making practice, and bring delight through palettes of vivid rainbow colour.

"Growing up near the beach I would see how the sun’s movements would change the colour of the sky and allow me to have a sense of place and time. The sun is a great symbol of positivity and energy."

Brooke’s fascination with light and the cosmos also finds resonance in the work of artist Peter Max, whose exuberant cosmic art is another source of inspiration for the Supernova collection. Max’s celebrations of celestial forms and saturated colour create a world imbued with optimism. Brooke’s designs similarly draw on the jubilant energy of the Los Angeles sun, translating its golden warmth into one-of-a-kind jewellery with handcrafted enamel and engraving in 18k gold.
