A wonderfully detailed and charming Victorian brooch. Insect iconography was very popular during the Victorian era, and bees came to be symbolic of hard work and industry. This exquisite bee brooch features diamond-set wings, a lively single diamond thorax, a bright sapphire set body, and glinting ruby eyes. The vivid and lush sapphires and rubies beautifully complement the diamonds and yellow gold setting of this piece, making it an excellent example of Victorian sensibility. This intricate brooch would look lovely pinned to a dress or jacket for a summer occasion.
