Very sweet, you don't often see giraffes as brooches which is lovely to see here, I'm definitely getting some savannah vibes from some of your uploads this week, the pose on both giraffes is lovely- mama is looking over her shoulder on the look out for predators, being very protective of her little one, which is such a sweet, a lovely looking little brooch with nice details too :)
Outstanding little giraffe brooch Jenni!
Many thanks to you all for the love

Thank you Lauren for your wonderful compliments, I agree that giraffes are rarely seen here and they are such pretty animals, I think this jewelry designer did a very good job with their splotched body pattern. It really does look like mama is guarding her young'un, and I love the little red necklace on the baby! You've read me, I must have been thinking of the African veldt this wk, with the elephant too :)
Thanks so much Scott for finding these giraffes outstanding, what a fab compliment! I have been collecting the St John mother & child animals for a few yrs now, it's a very unique and inventive series, and it's always a delight to find a rare animal like this one to add to it
Karen thank you so much for the kind love for this & my other posts this wk, I got your gracious email and am very relieved, you are such a lovely understanding person my friend :)
Many thanks for the love Lori, glad you liked the giraffes
