Fish head pearl

[Cyril Roger Brossard]

SSEF 2013.

We recently received an outstanding pearl brooch for testing. A hollow natural pearl had been carefully designed as the head of a mystic fish. With its astute smile and the two red glowing ruby eyes, it is a perfect example combining a large and somehow baroque-shaped hollow pearl (so-called soufflure) with an artistic jewellery design.

Cool! How creative and unique!

Thanks for bumping this. I hadn't seen it before. I always love the clever things they do with baroque pearls and souffle pearls would make the item much lighter in weight than regular pearls. While not a handsome beast, it is certainly friendly and extraordinarily clever! Thanks again Cyril for your many postings of pearl news and pearls like this!

Very clever design, although I'd say it looks more like an smiling alligator then a fish to me.
