Four Whale Species

Mike Warner grouped the humpback, gray whale, blue whale, and orca together inside a single framed gold-tone brooch, making this a rare find for cetacean enthusiasts. Fine photo-etching captures the distinct physical traits of each species, from the humpback's bumpy head to the bold black-and-white patches of the killer whale. In my experience, finding a multi-species marine portrait executed with this much accuracy on a single pin is very scarce.
