Dolphin Stone Brooch

My 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.
