The Clouds Are Hiding Brooch
The view I’ve captured on this brooch has been the same for my whole life. When I think of my favourite place I think of this view. The phrase “the clouds are hiding” is a comment made on one of the many trips over to Arran. It was raining on the morning we went with clouds obscuring our view of Arran. I once commented “I hope the clouds are hiding something” and when we got over we discovered it was a beautiful day on the island, the clouds and rain were over the mainland and had been hiding a glorious day on Arran.
The brooch is 10 cm by 1.9 cm and 0.4 cm deep.
Steel pin fastening with a silver tube hinge and silver revolver catch.
Pin length is 9cm so this would suit thick fabric, perhaps a heavy scarf or a wide lapel.
Cast silver frame with a lightly textured finish.
Hallmarked in Edinburgh.
