18K Beetle Pin with Rubies
$2,850
Congruous with some of the most ancient forms of physical adornment,
beetle and insect brooches have been used for thousands of years as talismans to ward off evil or to highlight admirable traits,
often symbolizing values such as industriousness and perseverance.
While ancient charms could be a live or deceased beetle encrusted with gems,
after the Victorian era people moved away from the tradition of live, moving, jewelry.
As a result, carved or cast brooches which had never been alive rose in popularity.
Although finely wrought with exquisite detail, this 18K Beetle Pin with Rubies is simply gold and beautifully made.
