Oh what a fabulous seed pearl brooch that is destined to always be admired and get commented on.
Made in the early 1900s by the Australian jewellery company S. Schlank & Co in 15ct gold, this brooch is as charming as they come.
Designed with a donkey that is so detailed and highlighted with seed pearls, the wonderful donkey is pulling a cart that itself is set with more pearls and natural coral.
This is such a fun brooch and measuring 4.4cm cross by 2cm and with the wonderful form, there is no doubt that this brooch will always be admired.
And making it even more wonderful, this exact brooch is featured on page 214 of the book, Australian Jewellers: Gold & Silversmiths, Makers & Marks, by Kenneth Cavill, Graham Cocks, and Jack Grace.
This is truly such a wonderful and exciting brooch that is further highlighted by being made by one of Australia’s early jewellers.
