A wonderful Antique late Victorian bar brooch fashioned in 15ct Yellow Gold and topped with a lovely winged insect set with Pearls and red Ruby eyes.

Insect jewellery became popular at the turn of the 20th Century due to a renewed love of the natural world following the vast urbanisation of the country and were often decorated with colourful gemstones to enhance their beauty and value.

It’s a collectable piece and in excellent condition. It would look beautiful on a lapel.
