Cow in the stable brooch and earrings


I once had the cutest little pendant made out of pewter, with this little cow looking over the stable door, hanging on a fine little chain. Unfortunately it broke, so I decided to try and utilise it and incorporated it into this brooch. The door can open, revealing a little man sitting on a stool, milking the cow.

The brooch surround is silver wire, filled with silver solder and a brooch pin soldered on the back. It was then given a coat of black patina to give it a vintage look. One of my favourite brooches to wear.

The earrings are hand-crafted from silver wire and brushed with a patina to give an antique look.
