The elytra are made of two deep burgundy cabochon garnets, while the thorax is set with rose-cut diamonds and tiny senelles on a silver mount. The ruby eyes give it a mischievous and alert expression, and a single pearl softens the line of the bar. Once the elytra are slightly opened, it seems less fixed than immediately prompted to stay in place.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n \u003cb\u003e\n  Type of jewelry\n \u003c\/b\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n brooch\n \u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003e\n  Condition\n \u003c\/b\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n very good condition\n \u003cbr\u003e\n More information on our condition scale\n \u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003e\n  Country of origin\n \u003c\/b\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n France\n \u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003e\n  Style\n \u003c\/b\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n Victorian decorative art refers to the artistic style developed during the Victorian era. This period is characterized by an eclectic revival of historical styles and the introduction of intercultural influences from the Middle East and Asia in furniture, accessories, and interior decoration. Victorian design is often seen as having succumbed to a regrettable excess of ornamentation. The Arts and Crafts movement, the aesthetic movement, the Anglo-Japanese style, and Art Nouveau all have their origins at the end of the Victorian era.\n \u003cbr\u003e\n See also: Victorian\n \u003cbr\u003e\n More info on styles\n \u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003e\n  Period\n \u003c\/b\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n circa 1860\n \u003cbr\u003e\n Events and facts of this era, poetry of this era, fashion of this era.\n \u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003e\n  Source of inspiration\n \u003c\/b\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n Mother Nature\n \u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003e\n  Theme\n \u003c\/b\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n scarab\n \u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003e\n  Material\n \u003c\/b\u003e\n 18K\n \u003cbr\u003e\n warm yellow gold (tested with a touchstone)\n \u003cbr\u003e\n More information on precious metals\n \u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n \u003cb\u003e\n  Diamonds\n \u003c\/b\u003e\n \u003cbr\u003e\n Fourteen rose-cut diamonds and senelles.
