A journey where history and craftsmanship intertwine to create something truly magical. I'm talking about our custom-engraved basalt pebbles, each bearing the enchanting Salamander Brooch design, inspired by the gold brooch from the Girona Wreck. But that's not all – these aren't just any pebbles. They come from, basalt, the same type of rock that forms the awe-inspiring Giant's Causeway. 

The Story Begins

with the Girona, a galleass of the ill-fated 1588 Spanish Armada, which met its end off the coast of Ireland. The wreck is famous not just for the tragic loss of life, but for the treasures it held, including the exquisite gold Salamander Brooch. Fast forward to today, and we're bringing a piece of this history to you, through our basalt pebbles.

The Salamander Brooch design: Salamanders, creatures of fire and resilience, have fascinated people for centuries, symbolizing strength, endurance, and the ability to withstand flames. Our brooch design captures this mystique, intricately engraved on basalt, a rock as enduring as the salamander's spirit. Each pebble, approximately 8-12cm in size, is a testament to the artistry and the stories of old.

Customise with your own name

While each pebble comes with 'Girona' engraved below the salamander, we're all about making it uniquely yours. Want to replace 'Girona' with your name or perhaps a word that holds special meaning to you? Consider it done.
