Title: Fine Shropshire Yeomanry Sweetheart Brooch by Garrard – Gold, Enamel, Ruby Eyes
Description: Fine Shropshire Yeomanry Sweetheart Brooch by Garrard – Gold, Enamel, Ruby Eyes
A finely made sweetheart brooch or regimental badge for the Shropshire Yeomanry, marked GARRARD to the side.
Crafted in unmarked gold, with evidence of two-tone construction — white to the front and yellow gold to the reverse of the crown.
The badge is set with three leopard heads, each with ruby-red eyes, and detailed with fine enamel work in blue and red.
The quality of manufacture is high throughout, as expected from Garrard.
The brooch is fitted with a sturdy pin and rollover clasp to the reverse and is hand-engraved with the numbers "1292" and "138".
