Going to the Mt. Angel Oktoberfest celebration? Accessorize appropriately and pin this amazing Edelweiss brooch to your hat or dirndl!
Edelweiss, the national flower of Austria, and a symbol of the Alps, is protected under the law to keep it safe from extinction. While it may seem harmless for tourists and sightseers to pick this cherished flower in their travels, over-picking eventually leaves the plant unable to grow. Edelweiss also holds the meaning of deep devotion due to its ability to withstand the harshest whether conditions. Not only does this flower have significant meaning in history, but in media as well, specifically in the classic movie, The Sound of Music. Michael is honored to collaborate with actress Angela Cartwright, who portrayed Brigitta von Trapp in the beloved film The Sound of Music, on this beautiful collection celebrating its 60th anniversary.
Materials: The Edelweiss brooch is cast in hand patinated bronze, accented with 22 karat white gold leaf and an Austrian crystal center set in 24 karat gold plate.
Brooch measures 3.1 inches long and 1.65 inches wide
