Here is such an attractive antique brooch that was made by one of Australia's most famous jewellers, Duggin, Shappere & Co in the early 1900's that will always look so elegant on any outfit where it will always be admired.
Made in 15 carat gold, the colour of the gold has such a wonderful warm patina that matches beautifully with the pearls and highlights the design of the brooch perfectly. Not only is the brooch set with seed pearls, but looking at the crescent section, the pearls graduate to elegantly and show just how much thought and care went into making this brooch well over 100 years ago.
Measuring 24.7mm across by 29.7mm, the brooch is also fitted with a safety chain for added security.
Day or night, this brooch will always look perfect on any outfit where it will always be worn with pride.
