Does this have any symbolism? Or is it just cute?

Brought this today, I feel like the image should have some symbolism but coming up a blank on google. Happy for it to just be cute.

A brooch?? Wow. I’m pretty sure you know your have a unique taste in brooches. You’ve taken it all in good humour.

I don't normally wear them but I have toddler twins so the brooch spoke to me of brothers

Well I hope you love wearing it and it makes you smile.

For the avoidance of all doubt, the heyre holding hands on their knees

Holy shit, you made it creepier!

Indeed, it's an ancient Celtic symbol for bad taste.

It’s a bit sad that people are being so unkind about something you have bought.

I think it's far crueller to encourage OP. She might show it to people or, god forbid, buy something else.

the brooch spoke to me

I would book a hearing test.

Coolcreature · 22/04/2022 19:52

Its hideous and their faces are creepy as fuck

The hands being hidden underneath the grapes makes it look as if they’re up to something “forbidden” (the logic being, otherwise why cover them up)?

I mean, yes the reverse shows that their hands are on their knees but if you wear this out and about, nobody is going to be seeing the reverse so ...

Also — I appreciate this is subjective but to me they don’t really look like babies or children, they look like creepy little men.

The luminescent green tinge 👀

AnnUumellmahaye · 22/04/2022 20:13

I don't like being mean, but I think it's passable as an ornamental oddity in your home, but it looks weird AF as a brooch and you'll probably get a few strange glances when you wear it and people wonder if you're part of a niche spiritual organisation.

Bread121bread · 22/04/2022 20:26

I think it represents hidden friendship. Otherwise, what is the point of hiding their hands?

Grin OP I've got quite eclectic taste but that is something else.

Love the humour you've taken our collective WTF with. If they speak to you that's great.

Personally, I'd worry about them coming to life at night and scurrying hand-in-hand all over my clothes, giggling menacingly.

Dancer47 · 22/04/2022 20:35

I would love to know who had the idea for that, designed that, had is manufactured and WHY.

MrsSkylerWhite · 22/04/2022 20:37

That is incredibly ugly.

idontknowdoi · 22/04/2022 20:40

That is a ginormous bunch of grapes and their little hands are creepy, but if it means something to you, that's the main thing.

Cute?

It's hideous.

Yup

NiceViper · 22/04/2022 20:57

Well it'll make you even easier to recognise as a MNetter than someone with the scarf (as there must be many more scarves on sale to the wider public than brooches like that)

FinallyHere · 22/04/2022 21:38

Please, OP, come back and tells us who approaches you when you are wearing this symbol.

Dying to know what it turns out to be

I have my own ideas, but can risk a ban from MN from explaining.

CurlyBurley · 22/04/2022 21:47

Sorry OP, but that will give me nightmares tonight. Glad it says 'rare' underneath.

MsKefir · 22/04/2022 21:55

😂Shock

Maybeitstimeforachange · 22/04/2022 22:01

Please can we see your mantlepiece or shelves for things that have spoken to you in the past. 😁
