FRIED EGG & PEARLS, 2022

You've seen the Andrew Logan Fried Egg. 

Are you ready for THE COSMIC JEWELLED FRIED EGG?!

Andrew first created his fried egg brooches for Indian fashion designer Manish Arora for his Ready-to-Wear show for Spring/Summer 2017  in the Paris Runway.  Only three were originally made, two for the catwalk show and one was a gift to close friend and collaborator, fashion designer Zandra Rhodes.  It is a firm favourite of hers, she says: “Of course - I now couldn’t exist without my fried egg - what an inspired brooch!  I just need a couple of chips with it.”

This statement Fried Egg brooch, created by Andrew in 2022 is the first we've seen with a jewel at it's centre. It features a disc of convex glass that has been painted a rich yellowy orange colour on the underneath side, and has been cut away at the centre. In this centre circle is an unusually shaped, multi-faceted pink/purple crystal which shines light in all directions. This has been laid on top of a circle of mirrored glass, leaving a small crescent moon shaped fragment of mirror. This yolk is laid over white resin that resembles a stylised egg white, embedded with unusual, opalescent keshi pearls, fragments of textured, shining clear and white glass. Also embedded are several tiny iridescent pearl beads and a small piece of white-blue stone. The edges are sprinkled with a generous amount of iridescent, white glitter, with some various coloured flecks that give the egg some additional shimmer.

The Fried Egg with Pearls will add joy and humour to every outfit and could also be displayed in the home. It measures 12 by 11 cm at its widest points.  It has a gold coloured safety pin embedded in the resin at rear and has been signed and dated by the artist.  The brooch weighs 84 g and may not be suitable to pin directly through delicate fabrics, such as silk; due to it's weight, alternatively it could be attached to a chain and worn as a necklace.
