Late Victorian Silver Gilt Rose Cut Diamond & Ruby Frog Pin

A charming diamond frog pin from the Late Victorian (ca1900) era! This wonderful diamond encrusted piece depicts a handsome frog made of gilded silver. The 3-dimensional design is covered in pavé set rose cut diamonds, which give a marvelous glittering appearance to the piece! Two faceted ruby stones represent each of the frog’s eyes. The rubies, which are bezel set, are a vibrant, luscious pop of color! The whimsical frog has outstretched legs, webbed feet, and an open smiling mouth. Attached underneath is a secure bar pin and c-catch clasp, making it simple to fasten the brooch to a favorite garment. It's a wonderful and unusual antique pin and a must have for the frog lover!
