About This Sterling Silver Golf Brooch
A superb and distinctive sterling silver brooch with strong sporting and collector appeal, ideal for enthusiasts of vintage golf memorabilia, sporting jewellery or unusual silver accessories.
The oval scene shows a golfer at the top of the swing, with a clubhouse to one side and trees to the other, all framed by a scrolled edge. Dark recesses behind the raised figure pick out the textured fairway and the outline of the golfer, so the design reads clearly even at a distance. A pin fitting on the back keeps this sterling silver golf brooch secure when worn.
A Gift for Golf Lovers
Golf gifts can be hard to find once you look beyond the usual tees and towels, which is what makes this piece so appealing. A sterling silver golf brooch would be a lovely present for a club captain, a keen player or a retiring member, or a memorable way to mark a hole in one or a competition win. It could also be worn proudly at a golf club dinner or on the lapel of a favourite jacket.
The Game of Golf
The modern game of golf developed in Scotland, and it has been played on Scottish links for centuries. It has inspired a wide range of collectables over the years, from early clubs and balls to prints, trophies and silverware. Sporting jewellery is a charming part of that tradition, and a sterling silver golf brooch makes a small and wearable piece of golfing memorabilia.
Understanding the Marks
The 925 mark means that the metal is sterling silver, or 92.5% pure silver. This brooch is also marked “Sterling” and carries a registration number, which is often found on designs that were registered by their maker. The photographs show the back of the brooch, so that you can see these details for yourself.
Caring for Your Silver Brooch
Clean your brooch gently with a soft silver polishing cloth, working over the raised areas only. Try to avoid polishing the dark recesses, as they help to show off the detail of the scene. Put your jewellery on after applying perfume or hairspray, and store your sterling silver golf brooch in a dry pouch or box, away from damp, to help slow tarnishing.
