Carry a piece of the woods with you wherever you go with this stunning selection of leaf-shaped brooches. Druids have long venerated trees, spending time meditating with the trees for ceremonies or to connect with Nature - now you can bring a little piece of that with you. OAK LEAF Of all the trees in Britain and Ireland the oak is considered king. Famed for its endurance and longevity, even today it is synonymous with strength and steadfastness in the popular mind. The elegant and beautifully textured pewter oak leaf brooch is guaranteed to make heads turn. The silver coloured oak leaf brooch is 6.0 cm (2.4”) tall and is attached with a metal pin clasp. HAWTHORN LEAF When we read of medieval knights and ladies riding out ‘a-maying’ on the first morning of May, this refers to the flowering hawthorn boughs they gathered to decorate the halls rather than the month itself. Step out in style with this elegant and fabulously textured pewter hawthorn leaf brooch. Our beautiful silver coloured hawthorn leaf is taken from the Holy Hawthorn tree in the grounds of Glastonbury Abbey and is one of our most popular designs. This stunning hawthorn leaf brooch is 5.2 cm (2.0”) tall and is attached with a metal clasp pin. Every Brooch is handmade from polished, solid lead-free pewter which is non-tarnishing (that was the lead in old pewter) and completely nickel-free. Lead-free pewter is an eco-friendly, non-tarnishing, recyclable metal, allergen friendly and easy to care for. Because the designs are all created in Solid metal, the surface of your brooch will never flake like a silver plated brooch. Each brooch is packaged in a black presentation gift box and an organza pouch. To clean, simply wash with warm soapy water.
