Embrace the allure of the Maine coastline with this signed "Damariscotta" brooch, a gold-plated treasure by renowned jewelry designer Ken Kantro. This striking piece pays homage to the Damariscotta region, famed for its rich marine heritage, encapsulated in the brooch's design that artfully represents a school of fish - a symbol deriving from the area's name, which is believed to mean 'gathering of many fish'. Created in the early 2000s, this design is part of Kantro’s Lovell Designs, reflecting his long-standing connection with the natural beauty of Maine.
 
Ken Kantro is celebrated for his ability to infuse his work with elements of his environment, and the "Damariscotta" brooch is no exception. Its fluid form and lustrous finish capture the essence of the water's surface and the grace of the creatures below. The brooch, with its smooth, reflective surfaces and elegant curves, showcases the simple yet profound aesthetics that Kantro has been known for since he began crafting in the 1970s.
 
This piece is more than a fashion statement; it's a wearable work of art that carries the spirit of Damariscotta. It is a reflection of Ken Kantro's passion for nature and his mastery in translating that into his designs. As a part of Lovell Designs, this brooch continues to celebrate the natural world and is a perfect piece for those who appreciate jewelry with a story and a connection to the earth's organic beauty.
