Handwrought Under the Sea Brooch by Frank

Who's Frank you may ask? Well, we honestly don't know. He did however, stamp that name over "Sterling" on the reverse of this great brooch. It is made entirely by hand and impresses both as a specimen of silver work and by conveying a genuine sense of being under the sea.

The silver is worked as follows. The raised seaweed fronds are repoussed while the background is chased and shimmers, like moving water. The fish as well as the bezel around the stone and dotted air bubbles are applied. Last but, really not least, there is the oval of moss agate which again, with its thick cross-haired green translucency, couldn't be more suggestive of under the sea.

Measures 2.75 x 2 inches. In excellent overall condition.
