About the Item

18K textured gold hippo brooch with diamond eyes. The hippo measures 1.75 inches across. The diamonds are round brilliant cut stones estimated to be near colorless, H, and VS, very slightly included, with a total diamond weight of .30 cts. The brooch is signed on the verso with 18K. There are also initials on the bottom, which we are happy to remove if wanted. We have photographed this hippo with a matching hippo with ruby eyes. These are listed separately and together all under brooches. The hippo has a hefty weight is 15.7 grams. In fine condition, this brooch has a fine locking clasp. Please note, Our model is a medium to large size. All items sold are accompanied by a detailed appraisal by our gemologist, as well as all original GIA certificates, if specified in listing. As always, we guarantee all of pieces. Each piece of jewelry arrives in a finely gift-wrapped presentation box. We have made every attempt to photograph our jewelry with the proper lighting conditions to display our pieces as they are in real life. However no amount of effort on our end can give the reader realistic colors if the receiving system is imprecise. For realism in color, "It takes two to tango". We have also photographed our pieces on different colors to give our viewers as much information needed to make a good decision. If questions arise that we have not addressed here, please do not hesitate to contact us. Unless stated otherwise or as exactly, all weights, grades and metal content of our pieces are approximated by our Gemologist using both GIA Instruments as well as instruments used as a standard and accepted practice. Over the decades of our stewardship as a small but exemplary purveyor of the jeweler's art, we have strived to offer a fine and authentic selection, in excellent condition, of collectible jewels from all highly sought time periods at competitive prices and even lower prices, if possible. In the process we have had the extraordinary good fortune of meeting remarkable people - some collectors, others just extremely interesting individuals who have taken the time and effort to examine their lives and select things that tend to make them smile, or admire, or just wonder at the exciting endlessly creative and nuanced panoply of jeweled artifacts
