Description
A lovely matching vintage set, designed by Sheila Fleet of the Orkney Isles in Scotland. Her jewellery is sought-after and I am sure this large brooch and matching earrings will disappear to their new home very quickly. They are enamelled in wonderfully bright blues, ranging from a dark midnight blue to light turquoise. The colours are, of course, perfect for this set from the range entitled “Pentland Waves”. They come in their original Sheila Fleet embossed box.
The movement created by these waves is beautiful. You get a real sense of her intimacy with the sea around the Orkneys, from which she draws her inspiration. A striking, naturalistic design, that has a cut-out section too and those vivid colours- well, they are just lovely things.
Each piece carries the maker’s mark for Sheila Fleet (SD -for Sheila Deerness-her maiden name) and also the stamp for the assay office in Edinburgh. The brooch measures approx 3.4cm in diameter and the earrings approx 1.2cm in diameter. The earrings are fitted with posts and have butterfly backs. All in pleasing condition. Any marks you spot on the silver are just patina, not damage.
Beautiful things indeed, which will be sent by Special Delivery or else by International tracked and signed. Thank you!
