supafrisk Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 Basically I've been making silver jewellery in my spare time recently and it has become so popular that I have several people requesting pieces from me I've had a particular request from someone whose wife has just lost her mother and her mother's brother. As her damily is half yorkshire/lancastrian, he has asked me to come up with a brooch which has both the yorkshire and the lancastrian rose in it. I have been looking everywhere for a silicone type relief mould, preferably smaller than an inch and a half diameter and bought this one but Sean says he doesn't want the tudor rose. I was going to overlap both roses, with the design being in fine silver with enamelled red and white petals. Has anyone seen a mould of each online I could purchase? Many thanks for reading, Emma.

zico's mum Posted May 30, 2009 Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 Think you'll struggle to find a Yorkshire and Lancashire rose - there are other roses available,like this one but not really what you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 I am a Yorkshire man born & bred so I think I have an answer to this - the Tudor Rose Not sure about where tyou'll get a mould but have a look at these for an image / info on the origins http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tudor_rose http://www.the-tudors.org.uk/the-white-rose-york.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supafrisk Posted June 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 I am a Yorkshire man born & bred so I think I have an answer to this - the Tudor Rose Not sure about where tyou'll get a mould but have a look at these for an image / info on the origins http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tudor_rose http://www.the-tudors.org.uk/the-white-rose-york.htm Unfortunately Sean stated he didn't want a Tudor rose, I think what he has in mind are two roses, one lancastrian, one york both overlapping. I have given up with looking for manufactured moulds and instead I am going to have a mould made for me specifically for this encompassing the two roses together. Many thanks to all who made suggestions and read the post, it's nice to know I'm not the only one who was struggling!! Hopefully if I'm successful I will post pics of the item before I pass it over to Sean, as I am just starting to put together a picture album of my celtic brooches/necklets and stone set crucifixes that I have already made.
