Wishful Thinking Brooch (2024) by Erstwilder and Pete Cromer

A little wearable magic for lovers of colour, story and Australian design.

This delightful Wishful Thinking Fairy Brooch is part of the 2024 fairy tale collaboration between Erstwilder and beloved Australian artist Pete Cromer. Known for his joyful colour blocking and layered collage style, Cromer’s artwork translates beautifully into this bright, storybook-inspired resin brooch.

Hand-assembled and finished with a mix of printed and hand-painted detailing, this fairy feels playful rather than sugary — bold wings, vibrant colour, and that unmistakable Pete Cromer charm.

Perfect for:

• Fairy tale lovers

• Statement jewellery collectors

• Erstwilder fans

• Colour enthusiasts

• Gift-giving (it comes beautifully boxed)

Measurements: 66mm x 51mm (H x W)

Material: Layered resin with secure brooch clasp

Designed in Melbourne | Made in China

A joyful little piece that adds personality to coats, cardigans, dresses or denim.
