Once a stickpin, now reborn as a necklace, this gold and multi-hued paste fly is unmistakably Victorian. In the mid to late 19th century, jewelry was designed with all kinds of gem-studded creatures. No animal was too unloved to be rendered in precious metals and jewels: insects, bats, rats, skunks, spiders... you get the idea. This itty bitty insect is made in 10k gold and hangs from a new 16" chain.
