A charming and finely detailed Edwardian bar brooch featuring a whimsical bug or fly motif, crafted in 15ct gold and set with a soft green peridot and natural seed pearls. The insect is beautifully modelled, with delicate wing detailing and a peridot body that adds a subtle yet attractive splash of colour, complemented by the gentle lustre of the pearls.
The bug itself is stamped 15ct, while the bar and pin fitting are stamped 9ct, a combination sometimes seen in period jewellery and likely reflecting practical repairs or original mixed construction. The brooch is well balanced and sits neatly when worn, with the classic bar form typical of the Edwardian era.
A delightful and characterful piece of early 20th-century jewellery, combining naturalistic design with quality craftsmanship.
