Beautiful gold with the outstanding pearl !~
This is such a unique piece, great find!
Honestly, this is one of the weirdest depiction of a dolphin I've ever seen. It's almost a dragon/flower hybrid?! :P especially his tail which looks like a little orchid petal maybe? I really love the little hints of deep purple of him too
Stunning! Love the design. Another fabulous brooch in a fabulous collection! Thanks for sharing!
With sincere thanks for the love

Thank you so much Ken for the super kind and appreciative compliments for my special dolphin brooch, it's one of my favorites and I'm so glad you enjoyed all it's rare features as I do
Phil I'm really grateful for your wonderful compliments for this fancy ornate dolphin, he is one of my treasured pieces and third Berebi who designed jewelry with such beauty & originality
Thank you MrsT my friend for the always kind words, yes this fish is very unique and one of the reasons I was drawn to it
Lauren you are spot on here, it IS a strange dolphin design that you can definitely see an undulating dragon body in and flowery tail. However when I visited Kauai in the 90s one of the high end hotels had dolphin sculptures like mast heads at each corner of the pool that were very similar to this design so perhaps Berebi was inspired by them. Wonderful creative comment as always my friend thank you so much!
My deepest thanks Maureen for your lovely kind praise, it is really uplifting to read that about my collection, I love to find a "star" piece like this one that enhances some of my older pieces (for example this week's Kramer post, which I've always felt was so so; that company could make some beauties like my emerald star, then they had many that were mediocre IMO). Hope you will enjoy some nice vintage I have for future posts, and BTW your own collection is super fabulous I really love it :)
Many thanks dlpetersen for the love, so glad you enjoyed this fountain dolphin
Thank you jb my friend for the love, you are always so kind and thoughtful & it means so much to me :)
Thank you AmphoraPottery for the kind love, I'm very glad you enjoyed this ornate dolphin brooch and appreciate your thoughtfulness
Thank you Vynil for the love I appreciate it very much! Glad you liked this dolphin
I collect Edgar Berebi . I am dazzled by the beauty and craftsmanship. I own 3 brand new Dolphins of the Fountains that I bought from Edgar after his retirement and sold some of his archives. A wonderful man.
Thank you tommyro56 for your great comment and for stopping by. Edgar Berebi made such beautiful pieces, I also have his dragon & pair of flamingos, they're so original and eye catching. Good luck with your collection he's a wonderful designer
Really appreciate the kind love everybody
