SOLD - Victorian 9ct Gold & Turquoise Fly, Insect Necklace


This fantastic antique fly pendant has been carefully crafted in 9ct rose gold with intricately carved details on the wings and head. Representing the torso is a vivid-blue cabochon turquoise gemstone displaying natural matrix patterns. Attached to a 42cm long 9ct rolo- link chain, this beautiful bug is designed to sit on the chest at an angle (see last image).
