RACHEL JEFFREY |
Royal Commission Background
Rachel was thrilled to be asked by The Salmon and Trout Association to design a brooch for the HM Queen Mother on the occasion of her 100th birthday.
When approached to express this fishing fly in precious stones and metals, Rachel was immediately intrigued by its natural form and function. The intricate art of fly tying from natural materials was close to her own ethos on jewellery making. She was delighted to be a part of this wonderful project.
The Pearl of the Dee has been based on a salmon fly of the same name. The fly was designed and dedicated to the Queen Mother, whose passion for salmon fishing along the banks of the Aberdeenshire Dee had always proved a favourite pastime. The design included these elements as well as using her racing colours.
