The “Pin” Brooch is a 15cm piece that encapsulates the cherished brooch tradition in my family. Crafted entirely from solid silver, it features a striking black rhodium shield that adds depth and sophistication to its design. This personal creation holds great sentimental value, serving as a beautiful reminder of the rich heritage passed down from my loved ones.
My granddad was a remarkable man—intelligent, detail-oriented, and full of wisdom. He had a unique ability to see beauty in the smallest details, whether he was solving intricate puzzles or creating jewelry. His warm voice still echoes in my memory, filled with wise words and heartfelt advice that resonated long after our conversations.
Family gatherings were always special, especially when my granddad and grandma visited. They would arrive with baskets overflowing with fresh produce from their farm, sharing the fruits of their labor with love. Those moments, filled with laughter and nourishment, reflected his generous spirit.
After my granddad's passing, I inherited his gold and onyx brooch, a piece that symbolizes not only his craftsmanship but also the lessons and love he imparted. Each time I wear it, I feel a connection to him, a reminder of the bond we shared.
The “Pin” Brooch is more than just jewelry; it embodies the legacy of my granddad. It celebrates our family's traditions and serves as a source of inspiration, encouraging me to honor the attention to detail and kindness he exemplified throughout his life. Wearing this brooch allows me to carry his spirit with me, ensuring that the love and wisdom he shared continue to resonate in my life.
