Vintage bar brooch circa 1930, designed as a small naturalistic insect resting on a fine gold pin. Its baroque pearl body gives the jewel a soft, lifelike irregularity, while its rose-cut diamond wings and a ruby-colored detail add a subtle sparkle. Although made during the interwar period, it retains the delicate spirit of insect jewels from the late Victorian and Edwardian eras.
- Type of jewelry: bar brooch.
- Condition: very good condition.
- Country of origin: unknown.
- Style: naturalistic interwar jewel. Although made around 1930, this charming little bar brooch does not follow the strict geometric language generally associated with Art Deco. Its insect motif, pearl body, rose-cut diamond wings, and colored stone detail belong instead to the naturalistic tradition particularly appreciated at the end of the Victorian era and during the Edwardian era, still present in jewelry creation during the interwar period.
- Period: circa 1930.
- Source of inspiration: nature.
- Theme: a small naturalistic insect, perhaps a fly or a bee.
- Material: 18K yellow gold and white gold.
- Diamonds: six rose-cut diamonds and senailles. A senaille is a simplified rose-cut diamond, generally a small diamond chip with only a few polished facets. As is customary in the trade, no weight is given for these small rose-cut diamonds and senailles.
- All diamonds in our antique jewelry and vintage pieces, regardless of their size or type of cut, are verified as natural by the IJGC laboratory.
- Gemstones: one ruby with an approximate total weight of 0.07 ct and one baroque pearl.
- All stated colored stone weights are approximate, unless otherwise indicated, because the stones are not removed from their settings. Gemstones are often treated to improve their color or clarity. The stones in this piece have not been tested for treatments, unless otherwise indicated.
- Birthstones: diamond is the birthstone for April, ruby for July, and pearl for June.
- Hallmarks: illegible remains.
- Dimensions: 5.25 cm (2.07 inches) x 1.47 cm (0.58 inch).
- Weight: 3.60 g (2.31 dwt).
