Bring a little ocean magic to your jewellery collection with this wonderfully tactile vintage Newfoundland pewter brooch, beautifully modelled with a mother dolphin and baby dolphin (calf) swimming together above stylised waves.
.
The design is deeply nostalgic in the style and manor of georg Jensen– exactly the kind of distinctive coastal souvenir jewellery Newfoundland is known for – with smooth sculptural dolphins standing out in raised relief against a darker textured background, creating a striking contrast and a lovely play of light.
.
Whether worn on a coat lapel, scarf, jumper, knitwear or even pinned to a tote bag, this brooch has real personality: sentimental, seaside-inspired, and quietly collectible.
