As Austria’s national flower and an iconic symbol of the Alps, the Edelweiss is legally protected to prevent its extinction. While it may seem harmless for travelers to pick the flower during their journeys, overharvesting can prevent it from growing back in the long term.
The Edelweiss represents deep devotion and endurance, thriving even in extreme weather conditions. Beyond its historical significance, the flower has secured a timeless place in popular culture—most notably in the classic film The Sound of Music.
In celebration of the film’s 60th anniversary, Michael is honored to collaborate with actress Angela Cartwright, who played Brigitta von Trapp, to create this special collection.
Materials: The Edelweiss lapel pin is cast in bronze, finished with 22-karat white gold leaf, and set with an Austrian crystal in a 24-karat gold setting.
Dimensions: 2.2 cm x 2.2 cm
