This stunning, fine and impressive brooch has been crafted in 18ct yellow and white gold.
The brooch has been modelled in the form of a scarab beetle.
The body of the beetle bears a cabochon coloured glass body, ornamented with a white gold bracket style frame.
The frame to the abdomen is ornamented with one-hundred and three pavé set modern brilliant round cut diamonds, in addition to an individual collet set mixed cut emerald to the thorax.
The sides of the convex frame are embellished with scrolling yellow gold designs incorporating two further mixed cut emeralds.
The beetle's head is ornamented with two cabochon cut sapphires replicating the eyes and accented with thirty-eight further diamonds.
The protruding white gold tibia and legs are embellished with sixty-two pavé set modern brilliant round cut diamonds, and the plain sinuous protibia are grasping an impressive pearl, completing the design.
This beetle brooch secures to the reverse with a hinged pin and clasp fastening.
The reverse of the contemporary emerald beetle brooch is hallmarked with the 18ct gold mark (750) and has been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as 18 carat gold.
This impressive contemporary beetle brooch is supplied with an IDGL diamond and gemstone grading report card.
This scarab beetle brooch with gemstones combines symbolic iconography with decorative craftsmanship, uniting historical meaning and ornamental design. The scarab motif, historically associated with protection, renewal and good fortune, introduces narrative depth and cultural resonance, while the gemstones enhance visual contrast through colour and light interaction. As a wearable object, the brooch functions as both adornment and symbolic expression, adding distinctive character and exotic elegance when styled on a lapel, scarf or dress. Its thematic richness and unusual form also increase its appeal as a meaningful gift and collectible jewellery piece.
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.
