Description: Thomas Mann Design Artisan Signed Techno-Romantic HEART Brooch PIN Vintage ~ Circa 1986 (2-3/4 inches x 2 inches) This is a wonderful pin made by Thomas Mann. It is very RARE. He is known for his whimsical pieces. His work is getting harder to find and is highly sought after. I purchased this handmade pin/brooch by Thomas Mann at a Jewelry Shop in the Dupont Circle area of Washington, D.C. in 1986. It was only worn a few times and has been with me in a jewelry box since 1990 when I embarked on several moves. It is original piece with a nice aged patina. Made of mixed materials, this rare vintage piece is a unique addition to any jewelry collection. At the widest point the pin measures 2-3/4 inches high, from the top of the heart to the bottom of the dangle. Width at the widest point is 2 inches from the top of the heart design elements. The back is stamped with the TM Design logo. Will be carefully packaged in a vintage box and shipped to you in an outer box via USPS Mail including Insurance and Signature at Delivery. THANKS FOR STOPPING BY NOTES: Thomas Robert Mann (born 1947) is an American jewelry artist known primarily for his metalsmithing and assemblage techniques. Combining industrial-style metals with found trinkets and baubles, Mann has dubbed his style "Techno-Romantic" and runs Studio I/O in New Orleans, Louisiana, where he now lives and works. Mann was born in Northampton, Pennsylvania and raised in Allentown, Pennsylvania. His father was a machinist for Bethlehem Steel, an influence to which Mann credits his "fondness for machines." While in high school, Mann experimented with jewelry-making and worked at a silversmith shop in Allentown. The jewelry he sold during his teen years helped fund his education at East Stroudsburg University, where he earned a degree in performing arts in 1970. In 1977, Mann began exhibiting at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival and later established his home and studio in New Orleans in 1982.
