Antique kookaburra brooch by Duggin, Shappere & Co

Here is such a wonderful and whimsical antique brooch that will always bring a smile to your face when you see it, and has the added charm of being made by one of Australia’s earliest jewellers.

Made in 9 carat gold by Duggin, Shappere and Co in the early 1900’s, this wonderful brooch measures 26.5mm across by 25mm and is set with 19 seed pearls in its body and a red paste stone for the eye. The detail in this brooch is just so wonderful and full of character and it sits so well on a jacket where it will no doubt always be admired.

So charming, this antique brooch is a wonderful example of early Australian jewellery with of course a bird that is totally Australian.
