Dating to the late 1800’s this beautiful brooch is crafted in the Etruscan Revival style. Fantastic milligrain details and incredible repousse give this piece an instant sense of quality and refinement. The animal depicted at the center has the head of a dolphin, as they were imagined by Victorian goldsmiths, however the ruff around its neck, and the serpentine body, indicates it may be something more mythical! A bright green demantoid garnet has been set in his mouth, a traditional stone for the era.
Love this piece but want to make it more versatile, we here at Market Square Jewelers along with our master metalsmiths can convert this fantastic brooch into a necklace or pendant for an additional fee, please contact Alex for more information!
