Rememberance Day/Armistice Day Jewellery?

[Skyjems]

Every year I say I'm going to make something to put on my coat, but I never get around to it and wear a plastic poppy like everyone else.

I would love to see any Rememberance/Armistice Day Jewellery you have, and maybe get my ass in gear to make something for myself for next year. (it's not a terrible year to miss having something special really)

Oh Ive been meaning to get myself a pave poppy brooch every year for a decade! This one is my favourite inspiration photo.

I have a little enamel one but I want a sparkly little pin. You’ve reminded me again. Am going to have to go google now.

I have my eye on this for Anzac day but im not sure I'd be brave enough to wear it - it's a bit flashy
(mind you its still dark for dawn parade)
its like something the governor general would wear
But i do love it.
It comes from Russia and before covid comments said it took a long time
I think they are made to order
I love the entire range

I appreciate your sentiment. Whether or not you try something new, that you honor Remembrance Day (Armistice Day) is lovely. I hope you wear your poppy with pride that you cared to remember fallen soldiers from World War I and veterans.

How did I miss this thread!? I have a rotation but I really really want a fine piece, that pave is just gorgoeus.

I did order some pieces from the poppyappeal website but they are shipping to a friend who will send to me. But still not fine jewelery kwim? I asked him to get me another paper poppy as mine is a very sad looking.


Limited edition made from brass shell casings.

That brass one is beautiful

It's my current fave and the fact a friend got it for me without knowing I had been heartbroken over missing it was the best feeling

lovelly freind

is the shell casing in any way historic or significant apart from what it is ?

i have a UK freind who's dad was a commando and she (nornally) goes to lots of events and talks to the old boys a lot
i would love to get her one next year

while looking for the shell casing poppy i came across some really lovelly poppies at the royal brutish legion charity shop

@Daisys and Diamonds
I believe it was a limited edition run for the centenary, I got it in 2014. The paperwork says they were made from a tranche of WWI brass that was found, how they missed that much brass during WWII I don't know. It is dated and numbered on the back.

I just ordered a few items from that shop! Had them sent to a friend in the UK who will forward them on. Royal Post is much cheaper than their shipping. Ill be sure to share!

I know the Canadian poppies are rounder, what do the traditional poppies for Australia look like?

I'm in NZ and our poppies im sorry to say are ugly
but we did do a cool thing with the 20c piece for the centenary of the end of ww1 but again with the ugly poppy




i found this picture of some Aussie poppies, they look really pretty and ....poppy like !

for ugliest poppy ever, we have the Arras memorial tunnel running under the national war memorial
the movie director Peter Jackson paid/ designed them - they are perspex - i assume so its easy to clean
