Each brooch is approximately 72mm in length & approximately 40mm wide from the top of the brooch to the bottom of the charm pendant. As a handmade piece, dimensions may vary slightly.

Lovingly wrapped in a pure cotton bag & tied with a raffia ribbon, making a beautiful gift.

Due to the size of this piece, this is designed to be worn on an open/ loose weave item of clothing like a knitted jumper, scarf or a kilt. This is not suited to a tight-weave item of clothing due to the thickness of the pin.
