The Memorial Silver Thistle Brooch is a beautifully crafted tribute, inspired by Scotland’s national flower and handmade in solid silver. At the heart of this traditional design sits a discreet 5mm round setting, ready to hold ashes, hair, or fur, creating a meaningful keepsake that honours memory with grace and symbolism.
Measuring approximately 23mm by 20mm, this brooch is compact yet detailed, designed to be worn close in remembrance. The secure pin fastening makes it easy to wear on a lapel, scarf, or bag, offering a subtle but powerful connection to someone you hold dear.
The thistle has long been a symbol of strength, resilience, and loyalty, making this memorial brooch an especially poignant choice. Whether worn daily or for special occasions, it allows you to carry your loved one with you in a way that feels timeless, respectful, and deeply personal.
Each brooch can be customised with resin colour options or subtle sparkle finishes to reflect your unique memory. An engraving option is not available on this design, but the simplicity of the piece speaks volumes on its own.
Why Choose This Brooch
This silver thistle memorial brooch offers a traditional and elegant way to honour a loved one. Its small size and meaningful design make it a perfect choice for everyday remembrance, while the solid silver construction ensures quality that lasts. Handmade by True North Forge, each piece is prepared with care, offering comfort and connection to those who wear it.
Ordering Process
Once your order is placed, we will send a complimentary ashes collection kit by Royal Mail. This includes a sealable bag, a measuring spoon, and a prepaid return envelope to ensure the process is simple and secure. After receiving your kit, we will begin crafting your piece and dispatch it within approximately 14 days.
Care Instructions
To keep your brooch looking its best, clean gently with mild soap and water, and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Solid silver may naturally tarnish over time, but with proper care, your piece will remain beautiful for years to come.
