Rosewood is an uncommon wand wood. Two known owners of rosewood wands are Fleur Delacour and Eulalie Hicks. Fleur’s school uniform includes a cloche and Eulalie’s fashion period is the 1920s-1930s as depicted in films. How fitting that this is the style that is perfect for showing off the beautiful thorn stitch!
