I honestly cannot remember how I came to possess this lovely gold on sterling silver vintage brooch which featured carved gemstone flowers and leaves. I have the actual box and accompanying slip of paper which is why I know it was designed by Canadian artist, Richard Shorty of the Southern Tuchone tribe. He was active in the 1980’s.
The brooch is still in great condition but two of the flowers had fallen out as well as a bit of old glue residue – look closely at the picture below.
