Buzzzz...opal and rose cut diamond brooch/pendant

[elizat]

This may not be to everyone's liking, but I found this guy in North Carolina.

A brooch, that can be worn as a necklace too, that fully articulates. Opals for the body, Rose cut diamonds and sapphire cab eyes. Legs are 22kt gold washed. I don't know the age, but he's cute!

The opals don't look like they do in person in this photo- the above photos are way more accurate for color play, but here it is on a chain. I like it!

Oh it’s gorgeous, and so versatile. It looks lovely on you @elizat and you look lovely wearing it.

Insect jewellery is so much fun!

So pretty! Love the opals! Did you find it online or were you physically shopping in NC?

@diamondseeker2006 thanks! Found it in a store in the Biltmore Village called Estate Jewelry LTD. They had modern stuff, vintage and then old cuts too, some in repro settings and some original. Really cute shop!
