The Great Whale Brooch

14K yellow and white gold, blue sapphires, diamonds, emerald

You were standing on the mist-laden docks of an old maritime village—where sea chanteys still echo against the ancient hulls when you first glimpsed it. The locals whispered tales of a legendary golden whale that cruised beneath the surface at dawn, pearls of sea-foam glittering like precious jewels in its wake.

Some say it was an omen of fortune, others claimed it was the ocean’s own troubadour, serenading the horizon. A fisherman’s eyes sparkled as he recounted how a single emerald glow—an eye, perhaps—flashed through the dark water, leaving the faintest swirl of sapphire light beneath the waves.

Here, captured in 14k yellow and white gold, is that fabled creature. Over two hundred lustrous sapphires set the whale’s swirling waves alight with color, while diamond “bubbles” crown its spout in a poetic tribute to the grand spectacle of surfacing whales. Look closer: a cabochon emerald eye—like that hypnotic flash seen at dawn—stands out in vivid green, quietly measuring the mysteries of the deep.

Wear it on your lapel, and you might sense a faint ocean breeze, the distant ring of a buoy, or the promise of an undiscovered horizon. Because sometimes—when the tide turns just right—you do hear the sea’s ancient lullaby, and the golden whale once again sings its timeless serenade.
