Description
Copper Sculptural Brooch: ARMOR by REPIOR®
ARMOR is a copper sculptural brooch, built by hand from coated copper wire. The wire is wound and layered into a compact form with a strong outline, then fitted with a pin so it can be worn on a lapel, a coat, a hat or a bag.
Pinned to dark wool it looks like a crest, the kind once worn to say who you were and where you belonged.
Not for battle. For presence.
Ornament as Protection
For centuries, armour was decorated. Breastplates were engraved, shields were painted, and the ornament was part of the protection. ARMOR keeps that idea and makes it small: a shield worn by choice, a mark of confidence rather than defence.
Each brooch is formed by hand in our studio. The wire is shaped, layered and tightened until the form holds firmly, then the pin is set. Because every brooch is made individually, the pattern of the wire is always slightly different.
Colours

How to Wear It
Pin ARMOR through a lapel, the front of a coat, the band of a hat or the strap of a bag, and close the pin fully. It is most at home on structured fabrics. Wear it alone, or group it with other brooches for a collected look.
Materials
- Coated copper wire, formed by hand
- Pin fastening
- Lightweight
The wire records each movement of the hand that shaped it. This is the material, not a flaw.

Care Instructions
Store ARMOR in a dry pouch, away from moisture and perfume. The coated copper can tarnish with time; polish it gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid crushing it in a crowded bag. For more on metals, read our guide to hypoallergenic metals in body jewellery.

ARMOR arrives in signature REPIOR® packaging: considered, already a gift, along with a REPIOR Certificate of Authenticity.
Why a Sculptural Brooch?
A sculptural brooch is a small piece of wearable art that pins to clothing or accessories, adding texture and identity to an outfit without needing to be worn on the skin.
ARMOR is for the person who has a uniform and wants to sign it. For the blazer worn to every meeting, the coat worn every winter, the bag carried every day. Small, strong, entirely yours.
