This beautiful brooch is made in New Zealand and features an inlay of well figured Paua Shell to the sterling silver design.
There is a sprung hinge pin and roll over safety type catch. There is also a safety chain and pin. The back of the brooch is stamped STG for Sterling Silver and has the bee mark for the Ataahua Jewellery company.
There is no damage and the shell is full of colour and very glossy. The sterling silver setting has been rhodium plated and some wear through to this plating can be seen to the back.
The brooch is 55mm x 36mm.
