Circa 1900 French Victorian Fly Brooch with Diamonds, Sapphires, Rubies and Pearl

Circa 1900, a French Victorian bar brooch in 18 carat red gold with a silver set fly motif. The wings are paved with rose cut diamonds and tiny senailles, while two cabochon sapphires form the body and rubies flash as eyes. A small pearl finial at the bar end adds a gentle, old fashioned note. Light, witty, and surprisingly wearable.
