Brief Description |
This brooch is made from round, faceted crystal or glass stones, known as Rhinestones, of varying sizes, mounted on a silver band with a fastening pin. A large stone at one end of brooch is followed by a line of eleven (one missing) stones decreasing in size. A horse-shoe shape of thirteen stones (two missing) is attached midway along the bar.
This brooch once belonged to the Randal family of "Titchfield", later Holly Lodge, alongside the Whanganui River in the suburb of Aramoho, Whanganui.
