Antique 18K, Silver, Diamond, Ruby, Emerald, Tourmaline, Seed Pearl, Coral & Enamel Conversion Brooch watch chain Crafted of 18 karat goldThe Aesthetic Period during the Victorian Era brought a more light hearted feel to the jewelry designs, with fanciful animal and insect motifs becoming quite popular. Worn by themselves, or enmasse, they could be seen on ladies' cloaks, hats and even parasols! This elaborate moth brooch came to us missing her wee head, but luckily, we were able to amend the problem by combining two antique stick pins to form a tourmaline tete with a seed pearl crown.
