Brehan Todd Metal Armour necklace made with vintage and found pieces.
This Metal Armour collar statement necklace was inspired by the beautiful historical weaponry, armor, and jewelry collection at the Metropolitan Museum in New York. Made of a collage of vintage and recycled bits and pieces collected in her travels, Brehan Todd strikes a delicate balance between tough and beautiful, achieved perfectly in this interpretation.
Portland, Oregon based jewelry designer Brehan Todd has built her career on her own unique sense of design and commitment to work and live a conscious, sustainable life. At a young age, a love for dancing and costumes lead her down her creative path.

While attending the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, she found herself becoming particularly fascinated with the architecture and explosion of art, as well as all of the amazing flea markets and vintage shops. She began collecting trinkets and costume jewelry, kept in a decorated vintage tin, during her travels, with the idea of them being different or special and to be saved for something in the future.
As both a label and human being, Brehan Todd is constantly evolving and continues to maintain and improve the sustainability of the business and her life. Natural, reclaimed and vintage materials, create high quality, contemporary, wearable art, with little need for the earth’s finite resources and all aspects of the business are directed to support and contribute to Portland, Oregon as well as the world’s need for support of social and climate change.
