Written by Olly Gerrish

This is a wonderful and beautifully modelled brooch of an elephant plodding along that was made circa 1900-1910. It has been set with rose cut diamonds in silver settings. The reverse is gold. He has a ruby eye with a gold tusk and his trunk is holding a natural pearl. His gold saddle has been set with four rubies and an emerald. The reverse is gold. Elephants hold significant meaning in many cultures and symbols of these majestic creatures have been depicted in mythology and religion for thousands of years. They represent strength and power. They also symbolise sensitivity, wisdom, stability, loyalty, intelligence, peace, reliability and determination, which are all seen in the animal’s nature when observed in the wild. It has a secure roll over catch
