Antique Turquoise & Pearl Love-bug Brooch
This little love-bug has a big ol' turquoise bottom, a pretty pearl head, and bright ruby eyes! The fine Persian turquoise is a striking shade of robin's egg blue and has only a single hint of black matrix despite its substantial size– nearly pure at around 10 carats! A lustrous Akoya cultured pearl with a gorgeous pink lustre sits between the glittering raspberry red ruby eyes and turquoise bottom in perfect balance. Made sometime around 1930, this adorable bug brooch is complete with eight wiry gold legs that'll creep and crawl right into your heart!
