Stromness Hooses Silver Brooch
£190.00This Stromness Hooses brooch captures a timeless view of the town as seen from the sea — its distinctive stepped gable-ends, weathered stonework, and the piers that stretch gracefully into the water. Look closely and you’ll spot a tiny Orkney Yole in the foreground — the traditional clinker-built wooden boat that has long sailed these northern waters.
Stromness holds a special place in Zoe’s heart, being both her hometown and the home of her workshop. This piece makes a thoughtful gift or keepsake, perfect for anyone who has wandered Stromness’s narrow lanes, arrived by boat, or simply fallen for its coastal charm.
Beautifully versatile, this brooch looks stunning pinned to your favourite top, scarf, or jacket — a subtle way to carry a little piece of Orkney wherever you go.
