Vintage Bug Brooch
18ct Yellow Gold & Silver French Hallmarked
Circa 1930
Step into the elegance of the 1930s with this extraordinary large fly brooch, a true testament to vintage craftsmanship. This incredible piece captures attention with its fabulous size and intricate detailing, making it a standout accessory for any occasion.
The body of the fly is beautifully crafted from shimmering abalone pearl, exuding a captivating array of colours that change with the light. This exquisite body is elegantly mounted in rich 18ct yellow gold, enhancing its luxurious appeal. The wings are a spectacle of their own, set with natural diamonds weighing an estimated 2.5 carats in a gleaming silver setting that adds a touch of sophistication and sparkle.
The intricate features of the fly’s legs and head are meticulously detailed in yellow gold, showcasing the artist's skill and dedication to craftsmanship. Adding to its charm, the pin through the centre of the brooch is finished with a stunning 9mm diameter pearl, serving as a delightful detail that complements the overall design.
The fastening pin is adorned with a slightly rubbed French owl hallmark, a mark of authenticity that adds historical significance to this unique piece. Whether worn on a lapel or as part of a collection, this brooch is not just an accessory; it’s a statement of timeless elegance and individuality.
Embrace the allure of vintage jewellery with this spectacular fly brooch, a true one-of-a-kind treasure.
