Scarecrow Brooch in 9ct Gold | Cultured Pearl Head & Ruby/Sapphire-Coloured Stones | London 1967

This unusual and whimsical brooch, hallmarked in London in 1967, depicts a stylised scarecrow crafted entirely in 9 carat gold.

The head is formed from a single cultured pearl, topped with a charming pointed hat, while the body is set with alternating red and blue synthetic stones that mimic rubies and sapphires.

Each stone is bezel-set in high-polished gold, contrasting with the textured finish of the figure’s tunic and trousers.

Hallmarked clearly with the 1967 date letter and London mark, it’s a charming and playful piece that reflects mid-century British design with a sense of humour and flair.
