Metropolis Brooch

A brooch I made for my wife, modeled after a pendant she has but never wears.

I figured "she never wears necklaces, but she does wear brooches, so let me make one that will work as a brooch!"

I modeled this brooch in Blender, and after 3D printing, painting, and attaching a pinback, I gave it to her.

She liked the effort but then explained that she didn't wear the pendant because she just bought it for the chain it came with, not the actual pendant.

Oh well.

I showed it to a guy a work and he said "it looks like it's from the movie Metropolis", thus my naming of the item.

The original pendant wasn't quite so Art Deco-ish/Machine Age-ish; I made it more-so be keeping it a bit simpler and adding a stair-step to the bars.
