Brooch, Figural Leaping Dolphin Pair, Multicolor Enamel Red Blue Green & White, Gold Tone, Vintage 1990s–2000s

Two dolphins mid-leap, frozen in a burst of color — this is a brooch that makes people smile before they even get close enough to read the details. The pair arcs together in bright enamel — red, blue, green, and white — on warm gold-tone metal, the colors vivid and clean with no fading. Unmarked, likely from a small American or European costume jewelry maker of the 1990s–2000s, when figural animal brooches enjoyed a great popular revival. The workmanship is solid; the roll-over clasp functions well. At under two inches wide, it's a compact piece that punches well above its size in personality. A wonderful summer accessory, a gift for a dolphin lover or ocean enthusiast, or a cheerful addition to a growing figural brooch collection. Pin it on a beach bag, a denim jacket, or anywhere that needs a little wave of joy.
