D-Day 80 Poppy Brooch

The D-Day 80 Poppy Brooch is a beautifully crafted piece of jewellery that commemorates the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings.

Combining historical significance with elegant design, this exquisite brooch makes use of a striking red poppy at the heart of its design, intricately rendered in three dimensions to capture the essence of this iconic symbol of remembrance and hope.

The brooch is set in a rich, gold-tone finish, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication. The finish not only enhances the beauty of the brooch but also ensures its durability, allowing it to be cherished for many years to come.

On the back of the brooch, the words "Devotion to Duty" are gracefully inscribed, paying homage to the unwavering commitment and bravery of those who participated in the D-Day landings. Accompanying this inscription are the dates "1944 - 2024", marking the 80th anniversary of this historic event.

Moreover, the brooch's design is further enriched with deep symbolism in its floral structure. The inner three petals of the poppy are thoughtfully crafted to represent the combined Land, Sea, and Air efforts of all the allied forces. The design element honours the comprehensive and coordinated approach that was critical to the operation, highlighting the unity and collaboration among the varying forces.

Complementing these inner petals, the five outer petals of the poppy symbolise the five assault beaches - Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword. Each petal is a tribute to the distinct yet united front’s where the allied forces made their formidable landings.
The brooch also measures 5.6cm in height, 3.3cm in width, and 1.1cm in depth, making it a prominent yet tasteful addition to any outfit.
