A stunning, fine and impressive antique hot enamel, 0.02 carat garnet, 0.10 carat diamond, pearl and 12 carat yellow gold dragonfly brooch - boxed; part of our Victorian insect brooches collection.

This stunning, fine and impressive antique Victorian brooch has been crafted in 12ct yellow gold.

The antique Victorian brooch has been modelled in the form of a dragonfly.

The yellow gold paired wings are embellished with stunning graduating hot enamel, each accented with a single pavé set Dutch cut diamond.

The thorax of the dragonfly is ornamented with six further pavé set Dutch cut diamonds, in an oval setting; these diamonds create a desirable antique aesthetic.

The abdomen of the insect is embellished with impressive, elongated pearl.

The dragonfly's legs and antennae are crafted in 12ct yellow gold, and the eyes are represented by two collet set cabochon cut garnets, totalling 0.02cts.

This impressive insect brooch secures to the reverse with a hinged pin and C shaped clasp fastening.

This impressive antique dragonfly brooch has been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as 12 carat gold.

This stunning brooch is supplied with an IDGL diamond and gemstone grading report card.

This impressive Victorian insect brooch is fitted to the original hinged leatherette presentation box, with a satin and velvet lined interior, securing with a hinged catch.

The interior of the box cover bears the retailer's mark 'Russell’s Ltd, Est 1745, 10 Exchange St Manchester, 18 Church St Liverpool'.

This stunning hand-crafted brooch is one of the finest of its type you could hope to acquire.

The pearl and enamel dragonfly brooch in gold combines refined craftsmanship with symbolic and decorative appeal. The dragonfly motif, often associated with transformation and renewal, adds narrative depth, while the enamel detailing and pearls create contrast through colour and soft lustre. This style of brooch is particularly suited to milestone birthdays, anniversaries, retirement gifts, or meaningful life transitions, especially for those who appreciate antique or vintage jewellery with individuality and character rather than purely conventional designs.

Images do not always reflect the true colour and brilliance of gemstones and diamonds. The video however provides a truer representation of the actual colour and showcases each stone.
