This Victorian Irish bog oak brooch is exquisitely crafted with a hand-carved snowdrop flower design and detailed with intricate gold-inlayed horseshoe arches. The use of bog oak, a fossilized wood from Ireland, adds a unique appeal to this piece as it is traditionally used for carving. Snowdrops, known for symbolizing optimism and new beginnings in literature and folklore, make this brooch a personal talisman for embracing opportunities in life's chapters. Over 150 years old, this piece remains as beautiful and wearable now as it was then
