Cornflower and Poppy Brooch - The Battle of Fromelles

This stunning brooch is a meaningful tribute to remembrance and holds special significance in relation to the Battle of Fromelles. Fought in France in July 1916, the Battle of Fromelles was the first major engagement for Australian troops on the Western Front and remains one of the most tragic days in Australia’s military history. The inclusion of the blue cornflower, worn in France as a symbol of remembrance, alongside the red poppy traditionally worn in Australia, reflects the shared act of remembrance between the two nations.

Beautifully crafted from silver-plated Zinc-Alloy, this brooch features an exquisite hand-painted finish using tinted epoxy, allowing the silver-plated surface beneath to softly gleam through the colour. The result is a piece of striking depth, richness and elegance. The vivid blue cornflower and red poppy are complemented by finely detailed green leaves, creating a graceful and balanced design that is both eye-catching and deeply symbolic.

While especially meaningful on commemorative occasions, this brooch is equally suited to everyday wear as a refined and elegant piece of jewellery. Fitted with a secure clasp to keep it firmly in place, it can be worn with pride as a fashion accessory that carries quiet meaning. Elegant, timeless and thoughtfully designed, it serves as a lasting reminder of sacrifice, shared history and remembrance across borders.
