This gorgeous vintage 9ct yellow gold pendant depicts a winged insect, most likely a butterfly or moth with a cabochon carnelian stone set as its body.
Insect jewellery was a massive craze during the Victorian era, where live bugs would often be used as accessories to one's outfit. This caused quite the stir, even back in the day.
Fear not, as this is crafted in solid 9ct gold, perfect for those who love animals and bugs and the finer things in life.
A gorgeous little pendant waiting for its new home, to be enjoyed by the nature loving person it finds itself travelling too.
