Steeped in Edwardian history, the Mary Brooch is exquisite. Intricately designed, her bold sword, crescent moon and soaring swallow are splendidly crafted in 9 carat gold. Crimson rubies and lavish seed pearls both embellish and soften the lines and curves that ribbon betwixt her. Mary symbolises a connection with our past and those dear to us who have come and gone leaving hearts filled with love and in the embrace of warm memories.
