Gold seahorse brooch – 40th year wedding anniversary gift

I’m very happy to share a really important piece. My parents had their forty years wedding anniversary last week. My father commissioned me this gold seahorse brooch as a gift for my mother.
She had a similar one once that my grandfather (who was a dentist) had made starting with a seahorse skeleton. The brooch was sadly stolen years ago. I didn’t had any skeleton so I had to carve the seahorse from scratch on wax.

In the eye of the seahorse there is a green emerald, the gift for the forty year anniversary it’s supposed to be “emerald”

I’m so proud to have created a piece that will became a heirlooms in my family
