Product Care

Use a soft cloth damp with water to buff away fingerprints or dust on the wood. Avoid contact with cosmetics, oils, solvents, and cleaning solutions. If your brooch has a sterling silver accent, gently wipe the metal down with a silver polishing cloth. Do not let silver polish touch the walnut wood.

Eittem for The Frick Collection

Eittem for The Frick Collection invites a contemporary New York atelier into dialogue with historic craftsmanship. United by shared material, the collection responds to the carved wood overmantel created by Abraham Miller in 1914 for the walnut-paneled bedroom of Henry Clay Frick. 

Across the collection, Eittem’s engagement with archetypal forms from nature finds a meaningful counterpart in the botanical language of Miller’s carvings.

Fine Craft in Chelsea, New York City

Eittem for The Frick Collection invites a contemporary New York atelier into dialogue with the historic craftsmanship that adorns the mansion walls. At Eittem, a small team of in-house artisans combines traditional handcraft with advanced fabrication methods, allowing intuition and precision to coexist.

Eittem's atelier in the heart of Manhattan

A design begins as a sketch.

The drawing is translated to a digital model; then, a set of instructions precise enough for a machine to follow is created.

 Wood is sanded with a gentle touch.

The brooches' silver elements are cast from a model designed in house, then polished to a jewelry level shine.

The final, velvety feel of the wood is achieved by a ritual of sanding and finishing. 

Now presented in the Frick's signature shade of red, Alpine leather is wet-molded to line the curved interiors.

Even the unseen details—like the edge of the interior pocket, which is saddle stitched—are completed by hand.
