A Victorian Demantoid Garnet And Diamond Lizard Brooch

Description

A Victorian demantoid garnet and diamond lizard brooch, the writhing lizard encrusted with old brilliant-cut diamonds, estimated to weigh a total of 2.65 carats, silver claw-set to a yellow gold mount, set with a central streak of round-shaped faceted garnets, estimated to weigh a total of 1.50 carats, with garnet eyes, claw-set to a yellow gold mount, all to a detachable yellow gold brooch fitting, circa 1880, measuring approximately 2.9 x 9cm, gross weight 18.8 grams.

An exquisite late Victorian brooch. This piece is in the shape of a realistic lizard, set throughout with scintillating old-cut diamonds and demantoid garnets with a bright lime green hue. The legs and tail of the lizard are wonderfully detailed, and the creature appears to be in mid-motion. During the late Victorian era, jewellery depicting creatures such as insects and reptiles became popular, and this piece is an excellent example of that style.
