<p>The back of a brooch should be as important or, perhaps, even more important than the front. It might function as a continuation of the theme in front, as an antithesis, as an inquiry or as a conclusion. On a narrative brooch, it is interesting to have the themes wrap around the sides of the brooch, unraveling the story.</p>
<p>The relationship between the front and the back of a brooch should make the brooch an autonomous entity that speaks for itself.</p>

<p>Agree, it is very important to take as much time to create a beautiful back detail as the time spent in the front. <br/>I get sad when I see Gorgeous work but as soon as I turn them around it is such a disappointment, not only because the back is not appealing but some times I also see very bad craftsmanship. The back is as important as the front. </p>

<p>i'm always happily surprised when i see post earrings (non-dangly) made with attention to detail on the backs, like fretwork scrolls, and equally delighted when the ear nut has this detail!</p>

<p>This is a fascinating topic, Lorena. And thanks for the comment Inbar. I feel the same way.</p>
<p>I do show the backs of brooches here on crafthaus if it is warranted. I am happy to say that there are a great number of artists who aim to make the backs of their work compelling. It is almost like a little insider-secret, only apparent to those who actually bother to give the work more than just a cursory glance.…</p>
