Recycled spoon
Each one of these beautiful summer blossom, tree of life, Willow tree brooches is totally handcrafted, completely recycled and utterly unique.
Inspired by walks through the lovely greens of Cambridge. Old, unwanted antique dessert spoons are transformed using traditional hand tools and a passion for green principles and ethics.
Each tree is carefully outlined on the surface of the spoon. This is slowly traced with a piercing saw. The final shape is filed and polished to perfection. An old spoon recycled into a gorgeous, wearable brooch.
An integral and interesting part of the brooch is the antique dessert spoon from which it was cut. This simple ‘donor’ spoon is also given a little ‘Hairy Growler’ treatment. It is transformed in to an wonderful Objects D’
Art which acts a lovely resting place for the brooch when not being worn. Both are presented in a lovely box.
A meaningful and traditional tree of life brooch with fantastic credentials and a great conversation piece. Handmade and recycled in Cambridge.
Size : Approx 65 mm * 50 mm
Hen –
lovely birthday present
My husband gave me one of these silver tree brooches for my birthday several years ago. It was a cedar tree, which is fitting as both houses we have lived in have had cedar trees in the front garden. It is so beautiful and unique that almost everytime I wear it someone admires it and I jot down the hairy growler website address for them.
