Victorian Diamond Insect Brooch Silver Topped 14k Gold

A jewel-box treasure from the late Victorian era (circa 1870–1890), this captivating brooch depicts a diamond-studded fly and spider—each meticulously rendered—sitting atop a lustrous pearl “pin.” The dynamic interplay between the two creatures captures the Victorian fascination with nature’s drama, rendered here with both whimsy and technical mastery.

Expertly crafted in silver-topped 14k gold, the piece glitters with old-cut diamonds and the subtle glow of natural pearl. It measures 0.9 inches from top to bottom by 1.9 inches wide, offering a balanced scale that makes it equally at home on a lapel, collar, or evening gown.

The metal content has been verified using XRF (x-ray fluorescence) analysis and confirmed with jeweler’s acid testing, ensuring authenticity for the serious collector. The brooch remains in excellent condition, a testament to over a century of careful stewardship.
