      Over the top fantastic walrus brooch! Not something you see often.

      Highly unusual to see walrus anywhere yet to see one with real stones used. Love the blue turquoise with real jade, and yet such a great piece of glass with real deep jade colour of stones !~

      Scott the walrus is a quite under-appreciated animal in both glass & jewelry, I'm lucky to have one in each now. Swoboda could surprise you with different animal creations and very clever use of gemstones. Thank you for your fabulous comment

      Phil the jade carved animals were a favorite design by Edward Swoboda in his early yrs (50s-60s), then later when his associate took over the co, they relied more heavily on mostly gemstone pieces. The highlight gemstones are really nice here, making you notice the carved jade body better. Thank you for your delightful comment
