Glamdring inspired Lord of on sale the Rings sword brooch

on sale This sword brooch is inspired by Glamdring, Gandalf's sword from the Lord of the Rings movies. It was also inspired by the beautiful Edwardian era sword brooches at the antique jewellery shop where I work. I really wanted to make a beautiful brooch that was still nerdy and fun. When I carved the hilt I tried to put as much detail into it as I could. This brooch pin will look amazing on a coat or top as everyday where, hold a scarf pinned around your neck or dress up an outfit. It is also a great way to have your characters weapon represented on a cosplay without having to carry around a big sword prop. When pinned properly on fabric the pin disappears and you have the awesome illusion of a tiny full length sword

So far there are five swords in this series, with plans for more. Check out my etsy store to see Anduril, Sting, Orcrist and Hadhafang.

This brooch has been hand carved from wax and then cast in solid sterling silver by the lost wax casting process. Then it was cleaned up and the pin attached. The pin pressure fits into the tube on the back of the sword point so you won't get caught by the sharp pin. The sword point is attached to the hilt by a chain, so you'll never lose it. The brooch has a flat back so it can sit well on clothing, but there is as much detail as I can fit on the front side. Glamdring is 10cm long and 3cm wide at the crossguard.
