This brooch is by the Scottish silversmith Mary Thew who is known for her use of free-flowing silver wire and cabochon semi-precious gemstones. My brooch is made of silver, you can clearly see the trails of silver wire running through the piece. There is chalcedony, a type of quartz and jade all polished as cabochons….
