The Story

Once upon a time, an all-powerful emperor learned the value of authenticity when a beautiful wind-up bird ultimately proved incapable of replacing the real thing. The Wind Up is inspired by The Nightingale, the classic fairy tale in which a glittering mechanical bird may be beautiful, but can never replace the genuine song and loyal heart of the real nightingale.

I had to look this story up, and I love the meaning behind it! This is such a clever brooch, with its little winding key and beautiful mechanical details. The story’s message about valuing something genuine over a shiny imitation makes this one especially interesting.

How to Wear

Pin The Wind Up to a jacket, knit, scarf or bag for a colourful piece of fairy tale history. A wonderful choice for bird lovers, Hans Christian Andersen readers, storybook fans and Erstwilder collectors.

Size & Details

Original design by Australian artist Pete Cromer for Erstwilder. Hand-assembled from layered resin with a brooch pin fastening. Presented in a pink and purple book-shaped Fairy Tales box with The Wind Up story printed inside.
