Martisor Brooch Collection

As the season turns, Magpie Gems invites you to embrace the tradition and vitality of spring with our exquisite Martisor Brooch Collection. Each brooch in this collection is steeped in symbolism and beauty, designed not only to accessorise but also to celebrate life and new beginnings.

The iconic Martisor Brooch is a herald of spring, a talisman of health and vigour for the year ahead. Traditionally given on March 1st, these Martisor brooches are a vibrant expression of nature's revival, embodying the blossoming of flowers and the return to life after the winter's slumber.

Our Lucky Clover Brooch, interwoven with a red and white cord, is a joyous salute to the spring. The intertwining colours represent the warmth of the sun melting away the last of the winter snow, symbolising the balance of life's dualities. This brooch is a promise of fortune, meant to be offered as a gesture of friendship, love, and appreciation.

The Lucky Snowdrops Brooch carries the purity and the delicate strength of the first spring flowers, pushing through the snow to herald the coming warmth. It is a poignant reminder of resilience and the cyclical nature of life, making it a perfect gift to express respect and esteem.

For a touch of whimsy, our Bumblebee Martisor Brooch captures the essence of spring's busy garden visitors. Available in joyful hues of yellow or warm orange, these brooches sparkle with an intricate design, mirroring the lively energy that comes with the new season.

Our collection also features a variety of designs that incorporate traditional Romanian motifs, such as lucky horseshoes and chimney sweepers, alongside charming clovers, shamrocks, florals, ladybirds and bumble bees. Each design is a nod to the roots of the Martisor tradition, crafted to add a meaningful glimmer to any attire.

In the heart of Castletownroche, County Cork, our skilled artisan infuses each Martisor brooch with the essence of Irish handiwork, making every piece as distinctive as its narrative. We believe that the tales we cherish are as significant as the jewellery we wear; hence, each brooch is presented with a card that narrates the storied past of the Martisor tradition—a saga that speaks to persistence, optimism, and the indomitable human spirit.

Presented in a transparent, recyclable pouch, our commitment to eco-friendly practices shines through, providing a glimpse into the enduring charm of your selected Martisor brooch. This approach marries our dedication to the environment with the allure of our craft, creating an ideal offering for gifting or a precious addition to your personal trove.
