About MeAn 18ct gold set brooch modelled as a waking group of three graduated penguins with turquoise set bodys and gem set eyes.
The brooch was given as a wedding present in 1961 to Marybell Drummond (b. 1939), who is the daughter of Frances Farquharson of Invercauld.


More About Me
Aren't they cute! Penguins are seen as a symbol of dreams and intuition because of their ability to dive below the surface, accessing deeper emotions.
