A Late 19th Century Fly Brooch

Description

A late 19th century fly brooch, the bee set with a demantoid garnet, a ruby eye, diamond wings and a pearl body, set in silver and gold, with a further pearl to the gold bar brooch, circa 1890, measuring approximately 2.2×5.4cm, gross weight 6.3grams,

A whimsical late nineteenth century bar brooch. It features a gold bar with a lustrous pearl on one end. In the middle of the bar rests a fly with a pearl body, a bright demantoid garnet thorax, glittering diamond-set wings, and a glinting ruby eye. The legs of the fly are carved from gold and rest on the bar. Colourful and sparkling, this piece would look lovely pinned to a silk tie or to a smart summer dress.
