Fast water, still line.
The Rapids Brooch is a hand-drawn stainless steel form that is long, slender, and slightly curved, like a line of water finding its path. The continuous line flows seamlessly into the closing pin so the whole piece reads as one unbroken gesture. It is designed to sit along the edge of a lapel, a collar, or the placket of a shirt, accentuating the line of the garment rather than interrupting it.
In black powder coat, the Rapids is for the woman who wants a graphic line placed with precision. The black finish gives the slender form a sharp definition that makes it feel architectural rather than decorative. It works on a white shirt where the contrast is immediate and clean, or on a pale lapel where the black line draws the eye exactly where you want it.
You pin it on and feel like the outfit has been given direction. Something graphic. Something that makes the whole look feel considered.
This is for the woman who wants a quiet way to be seen. Pin it to a jacket, knit, shirt, or scarf, and the whole outfit feels more personal without becoming loud.
Why collectors keep coming back
- Lightweight and comfortable on fabric: These brooches are designed to sit lightly, without tugging, dragging or pulling the garment out of shape.
- Easy to layer: Because they are so light, you can wear one brooch quietly or layer several together to build your own small composition.
- Handcrafted in Melbourne: Made by hand in the inSync studio, one piece at a time.
- Lifetime care: If anything ever goes wrong, Iris will repair or replace it.
- Award-winning design: inSync design has been selected for museum stores including the V&A, SFMoMA and the National Museum of Australia.
Rapids Brooch - 100% hypoallergenic stainless steel, powder coat
Rapids Brooch - 15 x 85mm (0.59 x 3.34 inch)
Wear with X2 Olio Earrings - Raw/ Gold, Single Pebble Necklace - Stone, and Clique Ring - 22ct Matt Gold Plate for a collected look that feels considered from shoulder to hand.
Wear your brooch on a jacket, coat, knit, scarf or dress. It can sit high near the shoulder, low on a lapel, or at the centre of a simple neckline.
For delicate fabrics, test placement first or wear it through a slightly stronger layer.
A brooch is a beautiful way to flirt with boldness because you can move it, restyle it and make it your own.
Will it pull on fabric?
These brooches are designed to sit lightly, even on finer fabrics. For silk or very delicate pieces, test placement first.
Will it feel too bold?
Pin it to a jacket, knit or scarf you already love. One brooch can make familiar clothes feel more expressive without feeling overdone.
Can I wear more than one?
Yes. Because they are so light, you can layer several brooches together and build your own small composition.
Where should I place it?
Try the shoulder of a jacket, the edge of a collar, a knit, a scarf or the centre of a simple neckline.

How to wear it
Pin it to a lapel, wool coat, linen jacket or generous knit. It suits women who like one thoughtful detail rather than a busy look.
The compliment effect
Collectors often tell us the same thing: someone stops them and asks where they found their piece. It is an understated kind of recognition from people who notice design.
