A striking and highly sculptural vintage beetle brooch crafted in solid 18KT gold, dating to the 1970s. The design is centred with a large natural chrysoberyl forming the body of the beetle, carved and polished to display rich green tones with natural internal character and excellent translucency. The articulated legs and antennae are finely modelled, giving the piece strong dimensional presence and lifelike detail.
