An Edwardian era pearl and enamel brooch depicting a trio of duck friends. These three mallards float together along a milgrained platinum wire. The brooch is oval in form, and framed in 18k yellow gold. The little ducks are each finely embellished in translucent multicolored enamel and, miraculously, each duck has a tiny, white river pearl wing. This is a special and beautifully made object. Its open, airy quality, miniature nature, and ducky subject matter make it cheerful and very very endearing! Brooch fitting closes with a c-clasp.
