Flowered Brooch
Robust yet delicate, bold yet dainty, the Briar Flowered Brooch is an old favourite of mine.
Brooches are fast becoming forgotten adornments, however because of this they never fail to stand out on a scarf or lapel. This one in particular provides a sparkling addition to any piece of clothing.
Choose from a bright silver finish or a luscious 18ct yellow gold-plate. Alternatively, go for the bright silver with a single added 9ct yellow gold flower embellishment.
This brooch measures approximately 40mm by 50mm.
Jewellery Care
Each piece of Natalie Salisbury Jewellery is made to last a lifetime...when cared for correctly. However, maintenance is key! Here are some useful tips for keeping those sparklies sparkly!
Cleaning
To ensure your new piece of jewellery remains in its best condition then clean it regularly. Grab an old toothbrush and some mild soap to brush in and around all areas of your piece.
Gold-plated pieces
Store gold-plated items separately from other jewellery when you aren't wearing them. Put your gold-plated jewellery on after applying any creams or make-up and avoid wearing them in the sea or when taking a dip in a hot tub. Try not to wear gold-plated items next to each other and if you plan to exercise or sweat then remove your plated jewellery altogether.
Black patinas
The black colour of an oxidised piece is only that deep for a short time...the black does wear away but is easy to replace! Do get in touch hereif you have questions!
Pearls and Gemstones
Store your pearl set pieces separately from all other jewellery to avoid scratches or knocks. Keep them away from high temperatures and don't get too sweaty whilst wearing them!
Avoiding knocks and bumps goes for all stone set pieces - they are prone to scratching and chipping if not looked after. Diamonds and Sapphires are durable and least affected by everyday wear, but emeralds and pearls in particular should be worn with care.

Sizing Guide
Rings
For advice on sizing your finger then check out my sizing guide page where you can find more information.
If you're searching for as accurate a measurement as possible then head to your local jeweller for help. If that isn't possible then get in touch so I can send you a plastic finger sizing gauge, or simply order one direct here - they're a handy piece of equipment that will be useful for years to come!
I understand that finding the right fit for a ring can sometimes take a couple of attempts, and because of this I offer the first ring re-size free of charge. Please do reach out if you need some advice in finding the right fit as subsequent sizings will incur a charge; you can review my returns and exchange policy here.
Necklaces, bangles and bracelets
Check out my sizing guide page to get help with finding the right necklace chain length, bracelet chain length, and bangle size for you!
