Antique Dragonfly Necklace

18ct Gold French Stamped

Circa 1870

A museum-worthy, breathtaking showstopper from the mid-to-late Victorian era. Dating to circa 1870, this monumental dragonfly pendant is an extraordinary celebration of 19th-century naturalist jewellery, French goldsmithing, and exquisite gemstone craftsmanship. 

Handcrafted in traditional period technique with a solid 18ct yellow gold undercarriage and a silver-topped front, the silver setting provides an authentic, moody contrast that makes each antique gemstone ignite with color and fire. 

The dragonfly is encrusted throughout with natural precious gemstones: 

Body & Tail: An articulated, sinuous tail lined with bright antique rose-cut diamonds, curling with lifelike anatomical grace. 

Thorax: Centered with a vibrant, glowing oval pinkish-red ruby in a collet bezel. 

Head: Piercing green natural emerald cabochon eyes topped with delicate diamond-set antennae and ruby accent terminals. 

Wings: Openwork wings pavé-set with shimmering rose-cut diamonds, vividly accented with alternating natural rubies and rich blue sapphires. 

Suspended gracefully from both wingtips, the pendant hangs from a solid antique 15ct yellow gold rope-twist chain, allowing the piece to sit flat and drape dramatically against the collarbone. 

The total length of the necklace measures 17 1/2 inches and the chain 1.6mm. The pendant measures approximately 48.5mm in height and 75mm in width.
