    This 2"W harp seal brooch has a white rhinestone body with black eyes & nose accents on goldtone. By Canada's Butler 5th Avenue from the 1980s, when this breed was on the endangered wildlife list but thankfully today is far improved

      Awe! I don’t think I’ve seen a seal brooch either! Cute

      Awh- he's so cute! And of course the real creatures are very cute too, all are so chubby and fluffy- your is so endearing looking, his black eyes look so bright and shiny and his pose makes him look like he's just been plonked on some ice!

      This is a very nice brooch. Butler made some quite interesting ... certainly different in theme rhinestone brooches. I found a Butler brooch once upon a time that I couldn’t even identify what it was: the top was covered with a chalky white gluey substance. I took it home and started to lightly wash the surface, and discovered a spray of clear rhinestones underneath. One of my favourite pieces. Love your find.

      Right Karen, this is an unusual seal I've never seen another of this type & was so excited to find this, these animals used to be the face of many wildlife organizations back in the day they were endangered. Thanks for the super compliment & observ

      Thanks Ken for the great compliment, he is a cute little fellow right, think it is supposed to be a baby harp seal & baby animals are just irresistible

      Thanks so much MrsT for the lovely compliment, I know this is a special seal breed, not your usual seal with ball on its nose from the water amusement parks, so a delight to have in my collection

      Lauren thank you for the wonderful descriptive comment as always, I can envision these lovely white seals in the far north right along with you :) Isn't it a shame the way they are hunted to this day, there ought to be a more humane way to keep their population down

      Thank you Mani for the super kind compliment, I'm glad this cutie can put a smile on your face as it does for me

      Daisy thanks so very much for your fabulous comment, I so love the jewelry by Butler 5th Ave (not to be confused with Butler & Wilson as many sellers do, the marks are so different) esp the figurals, they are never copycats of other designers and have outstanding unique pieces. How great that you found a beautiful piece after cleaning it, it pays to have patience when you see something by this great designer!
