An astonishing brooch, made at the turn of the twentieth century. Incredibly detailed and naturalistic, this grasshopper brooch is a masterpiece of Art Nouveau design and craftsmanship. The body of the insect features a bright and vivid blue opal, tallow and green enamel, rose-cut diamonds, and a cabochon-cut ruby eye all set in bright yellow gold. This is a unique, eye-catching, and remarkable piece, full of exquisite detail and character.
