Beautiful vintage sterling silver Border Collie brooch dating to 1999, featuring a wonderfully subtle and artistic scenic design.
At first glance the brooch appears abstract, with smoky landscape-like tones and flowing natural patterns within the polished stone. On closer inspection, the distinctive silhouette of a Border Collie emerges beautifully from the darker areas of the design, giving the piece an understated elegance and unusual visual depth.
The brooch is mounted within a simple hallmarked sterling silver bezel setting which perfectly complements the minimalist modernist aesthetic. The reverse carries full British sterling silver hallmarks including the 1999 date letter, and the original labelled presentation box reading “Border Collie Brooch – Silver Plain” is included.
Unlike many novelty breed brooches, this is an understated and highly wearable piece with a refined artistic feel, ideal for collectors of dog jewellery, studio silver, country-style accessories, or Border Collie memorabilia.
