Here we have a remarkable Victorian brooch. This antique piece has been crafted from a rich 18ct yellow gold into the shape of a lizard and showcases exceptional attention to detail. The centre of the body is adorned with round faceted old mine and rose cut diamonds which collectively graduate in size towards the centre. Pinky red rubies accentuate the eyes and feet, adding a striking contrast to the design whilst the head and legs are set with additional rose cut diamonds. The fine goldwork engraving to the body perfectly mimics the scaly texture and form of the reptile, making it a highly captivating piece.
