Antique Hematite Ruby Pearl Fly Bug Insect Pendant Victorian Edwardian
About the Item
This is an absolutely wonderful and rare antique Victorian Fly, Beetle, Insect Pendant Necklace. The stunning three dimensional insect is set with a round and an oval Hematite gem cabochon to form the body. The larger hematite is carved with a line down the center to create the lifelike insect. The head is set with two Ruby cabochons in the eyes. The wings are set throughout with seed pearls. The insect is created in silver. The antennae are scored throughout and each of the six legs have bifurcated feet. The Victorians were fascinated with nature and particularly insects and their insect creations are incredible feats of jewelry making. This one is extremely rare with its large size, hematite and ruby gems, and fabulous three dimensional design. This whimsical bug dances delightfully around the neck and creates a conversation piece to be passed on for generations. And insect inspired jewels are all the rage today. The Victorians were absolutely enamored with nature and insects and created jewels as well as sculptures of the fascinating creatures. These antique insect gems are among the most highly desired and collected today.
The insect pendant is 1 1/8 inches (29 mm) long. It is 3/4 inch (19mm) wide. The insect is 3/8 inch (10mm) deep.
The pendant weighs 4.4 grams.
The listing is only for the pendant. The neck chain is only shown for display.
