About the Item
Victorian Opal & Pearl Insect Pendant in 10K Gold — Brooch Conversion, Circa 1890–1900
A rare fusion of whimsy and elegance, this Victorian insect pendant brings antique charm to life with glowing opals, lustrous seed pearls, and warm 10k gold. Originally a brooch crafted between 1890 and 1900, the piece has been thoughtfully converted for contemporary wear by removing its original pin findings and adding a solid gold jump ring bail.
The stylized insect—likely a bee or fly, both beloved motifs of the era—features a luminous opal body that shimmers with subtle flashes of color, flanked by delicately placed seed pearls that evoke wings or ornamented thorax segments. Insects were powerful symbols in Victorian jewelry, often associated with transformation, industriousness, and devotion.
The setting is composed of 10k yellow gold (acid tested and XRF verified for accuracy), ensuring both historical authenticity and enduring beauty.
Measuring approximately 0.9 inches from the top of the bail to the bottom of the pendant and 0.7 inches wide, this pendant makes a unique centerpiece on a fine gold chain or as part of a curated charm story. It is in very good antique condition, with original gems intact and gentle wear commensurate with its age.
A captivating treasure for collectors of Victorian jewels or nature-inspired adornments, this piece offers wearable heritage and quiet luxury with a touch of enchantment.
Materials: 14k gold, Opal, Pearl.
