Dolphin Stone BroochMy intuitions could not have worked out better, because the lady the brooch was for is also a potter and she soon showed me several of her bowls with a similarly sculpted edge.
Those same intuitions were re-confirmed as I researched more about Larimar and discovered that it is also known as Dolphin or Atlantis stone. With that in mind, the back of the brooch will now make sense. |
This silver brooch was made to commission using the lady's own stones. They are Larimar - found only in the Dominican Republic. They immediately made me think of the sea, and I soon started to suggest designs with a clam-shell look. |
