The Aesthetic Period during the Victorian Era brought a more light-hearted feel to the jewelry designs, with fanciful animal and insect motifs becoming quite popular. Worn by themselves, or enmasse, they could be seen on ladies' cloaks, hats and even parasols!
Crafted in sterling silver, this wonderful bee brooch has a mesmerizing cats eye chrysoprase stone for its head. Paste diamonds adorn the thorax and wings and red paste stones serve as the eyes. A fanciful, fun Victorian brooch you'll find so many ways to wear!
