- Jewellery designer Kleshna is well known for her flamboyant crystal designs (favoured by Kylie, Catherine Zeta Jones and Victoria Beckham ...) and this piece, designed exclusively for the Royal British Legion is no exception.
- This brooch even comes with celebrity endorsement. To help promote this fund raising initiative for the Royal British Legion, celebrities are modelling this very brooch in public for all to admire - names so far have included talents as diverse as Cheryl Cole on the X-Factor just this last Saturday night, as well as Carol Vorderman through to the inimitable Dame Judi Dench.

- This is show-stopping jewellery and it could be yours with a bid here...
- To keep herself in the mood while creating this magnificent brooch, Kleshna listened to recordings of 'Land of Hope and Glory' as well as a selection of her mother's old records:
"(My mother) sang to the forces as part of ENSA in the second World War... It has been an enjoyable but nostalgic journey for me making the poppies and I hope that I have been able to contribute towards raising some much needed funding..."
- The result is this glamourous poppy brooch that dazzles with Swarovski red and black crystals. Its three symbolic petals represent the three arms of the forces and the many layers, using hundreds of crystals, are not only visually striking... they represent the many service people in the forces we remember, past and present.
- And that is what makes a brooch like this so special. It is not only a very smart investment in a one-off piece of valuable designer jewellery. It is not just a colourful celebrity story to tell over dinner. Kleshna's Poppy is a poignant and lasting reminder that can be passed on, making sure those who follow remember the Royal British Legion and the men and women who selflessly and gallantly serve in our forces.
- ..and remember, £1 from every bid placed goes to the Poppy Appeal, so please do well by doing good and have a bid!
So what are you waiting for?
Bid here and bid high to own Kleshna's glorious version of
the Remembrance Day Poppy...
