Honouring Care and Compassion: The Story Behind Our Nurse Collection

As the festive season approaches, we reflect on the meaningful connections we share with our loved ones. One piece that stands out in our collection is the Nurse Brooch, inspired by a cherished photograph of my late grandmother, Grace, in her nursing uniform. She exuded beauty and I wanted to create a pin-up tribute that captures her spirit and honours the incredible work that nurses do.

This brooch is not just a piece of jewellery; it holds a deep significance for many of our customers. Each time someone shares how this piece reminds them of their loved ones in healthcare, it reinforces the bond we have with those who care for us.

The Nurse Brooch is designed with glamour and strength in mind, celebrating the dedication and compassion that nurses embody. It’s perfect for anyone who wants to wear a piece of their story or recognise the hard work of those in the healthcare profession.

I have also created a pin badge version of the piece which can easily be worn on a work lanyard or jacket lapel. With every Nurse Pin Badge sold, £1 is donated to Macmillan Cancer Support, a charity very close my heart.

In the spirit of sharing, I’ll be including pictures of my grandmother alongside sketches of the brooch to give you a glimpse into the inspiration behind this piece.

If you’re looking for a heartfelt gift for a nurse in your life or simply want to celebrate the caring spirit of healthcare professionals, our Nurse Brooch and Pin Badges are the perfect choice. Each piece tells a story, and we can’t wait for you to make it part of yours.

Feel free to comment on this blog with your story of care and compassion!

With warm wishes,

Rose, Dolly Dimple Design
