The Leafy Seadragon Brooch is a handcrafted sterling silver brooch made in Adelaide, South Australia by Olivia Dryden. It belongs to the Oceanic Collection, a series inspired by marine life, coastal forms and the textures of the South Australian shoreline.
The design draws from the delicate form of the leafy seadragon, one of South Australia’s most distinctive marine creatures. Its drifting, leaf-like appendages are translated into sterling silver, creating a brooch that feels both sculptural and gently sea-worn.
Worn on clothing, a scarf or a hat, the brooch becomes a small tribute to the ocean: refined, organic and connected to the quiet beauty of marine life.
Materials: Sterling silver
Process: Each brooch is handmade in small quantities using traditional silversmithing techniques. Slight differences in texture, shape and finish should be expected as part of the handmade process.
Dimensions: 4.2 x 2.7 cm.

FAQ
Q1: How do I clean the Leafy Seadragon Brooch?
A: Avoid perfumes, lotions and harsh chemicals, and gently polish the sterling silver with a soft jewellery cloth. Because the leafy Seadrsgon forms have fine, hard-to-reach details, a silver dip may be used occasionally if needed. Always follow the silver dip instructions carefully, rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
Q2: How can I wear the Leafy Seadragon Brooch?
A: The brooch can be worn on jackets, coats, scarves, hats or heavier fabrics where the pin can sit securely. Its sculptural form makes it suitable as both wearable jewellery and a small collectible ocean-inspired object.
Q3: Is the Leafy Seadragon Brooch suitable as a gift?
A: Yes. Each piece is packaged in an Olivia Dryden Jewellery branded velvet pouch and is suited to ocean
