From the humble dandelion to the magnificent foxglove, British wildflowers have inspired the new collection of Shark Alley brooches.
The flower range has been specifically designed to be worn either alone, with another flower or to be paired with one of the Shark Alley bird brooches as a kind of perch for the bird, or to complement or contrast with it in terms of shape or colour.
This brooch is based on the cheerful dandelion, often overlooked as a weed but in reality a pretty, sunshine yellow flower with complex layers of petals and a gentle fragrance redolent of summer.
The dandelion is cut from FSC certified sustainable birch and painted entirely by hand using water-based eco-friendly paint. The back of the brooch is painted in a bright sky blue and both sides are finished with a satin varnish.
Like all Shark Alley designs, it is light and easy to wear and can be styled on anything from jackets and t-shirts to hats and scarves.
The dandelion comes beautifully packaged, with its own display card and pillow box. The packaging is recyclable.
* Please note, each dandelion is painted by hand and may differ very slightly from the one pictured here. It may also include brush stroke textures.
