D'Orlan 22ct Triple Gold Plated Crystal Koala Brooch
D'Orlan 22ct Triple Gold Plated Crystal Koala Brooch featuring a lovely Koala in a clinging position, so looks particularly cute when worn. His design includes golden pave set crystals for his body and clear pave set crystals for his face and ears with black glass cabochons for his eyes and a slightly larger one for his nose. This very sweet Koala measures 3.5cm tall and 3cm at his widest point and he weighs 13.1g. It has a rollover clasp and it is signed on the reverse '©D'ORLAN'.
Koalas symbolise tranquility, peace and protection. A eucalyptus-leaf-eating member of the marsupial family, the Koala is also a gentle, kind, caring animal, resembling a small bear. It generally brings a sense of security and happiness.
D'Orlan was founded by Maurice Bradden in Toronto, Canada in 1957. In 1984, D'Orlan Jewellers Ltd., formed a partnership with the Nina Ricci enterprises of Paris, France. Together the companies developed a high standard plating process that is highly regarded to include a 22ct triple plated gold finish over a pewter base metal that ensures a consistency of colour. This process has also been incorporated into the Nina Ricci jewellery.
