Pierced Pennanular Brooch with Carnelian Stone
£25.00 GBP
This rustic shawl pin is an elegant, easy to wear design inspired by Pictish adornments.
- A whimsical take on an Iron-Age design, fire-forged in copper
- I have added a lush orange carnelian stone--it's glowing warmth is a perfect accent to autumn layers!
- A practical and beautiful closure solution for hand knits and hand woven pieces
- Circle portion of the brooch measures approximately 1 1/4" or 3cm in diameter
Once the fabric has been secured on the pin, the pin is then slid between the legs of the pin and the oval frame can be turned around, securing the brooch in place. I wear mine with my hand-knitted cardigans and coats, as I prefer this type of closure to buttons or clasps that come undone. This works very well with chunky, aran or worsted knits.
A version of this pin is featured in Staci Perry's Easy Knit Sweater Jacket Tutorial at Very Pink Knits. You can learn about the pattern (and get a how-to on how to fasten these brooches) here.
All pieces are made by hand or sourced with care from our home studio in Kirkwall, Orkney. Ally's designs are inspired by the wild, ancient Orkney landscape with its unique blend of Scottish and Norse culture and history.
