Solid sterling silver brooch that captures the essence of the storm at sea; waves lashing against barnacle covered basalt rock.
This is made with a robust piece of sterling silver, featuring the natural texture of barnacles that cover the basalt rock. As beautiful as it is unusual. Kept simple in silver, with the inticate textures, details and shapes being the focal point
A beautiful item of heirloom Scottish jewellery that calls to the those that love the sea, the Scottish west coast and storms at sea. Each piece is cast from an actual barnacle formation from the west Highland coastline, using the ancient lost wax technique
This has a sterling silver pin and catch. Please not this is NOT stainless steel, therefore not suitable for heavy or tight weave fabrics such as a heavy wool coat. Silver is not so very hard and will bend if forced . Perfect on lighter fabrics, cardigans etc.
Fully hallmarked at the Edinburgh Assay Office. One brooch is ready to send. All others will be made to order, and each design will vary slightly as is the nature of, well nature. Allow 6 weeks from ordering to give time for making and hallmarking of the item.
All silver is sustainable recycled silver from our reputable UK supplier. The silver has been oxidised (darkened) then polished to leave highlights and lowlights on the silver that enhance the natural texture.
