VICTORIAN LARGE BEETLE PENDANT / BROOCH

A supersized, supercool Victorian beetle pendant / brooch.

The perfectly preserved chunky beetle has a fabulous natural bright green luminescent shell.

The beetle is in a 9ct gold frame which is designed with legs and antennas.

The eyes are set with faceted pink rubies, and the wonderful fine wire work on the beetles back represents the wings.

The reverse; which has the original brooch pin, shows the bright green tummy of the bug which is also in fabulous condition.

A large gold jump ring has been added to the antenna so the beetle can be worn as a pendant.

The Victorians were fascinated by bugs and exotic animals that were being discovered during this time.

They were used to adorn outfits, and to bring the Victorians closer to nature.

I absolutely love how weird and wonderful this guy is!!!
