Japanese Cherry Blossoms (Sakura) are the national flower of Japan and have a deep symbolism; representing a time of renewal and optimism as well as illustrating the fleeting nature of life.

The tassels on this pretty Sakura brooch represent the melting snow of winter and dewy mornings which form a prelude to the blossoming beauty of the Sakura.
