Just bought it...
Seller said gold gilt, but from quality I suspect unmarked silver/sterling.
This fellow is rather big!
1.1/4" long.
2" wing span.
C clasp.
Shimering tiger's eye body, garnet eyes, half seed pearls.
Will post pics when in hand :-)
It's a love, love kyra! Can't wait to see it...
I'm really loving all of your insects and lizards you've posted. I'm not a jewelry collector, but, these really stand out!! Very nice!
Sue! I LOOOVE your lovely comment! ;-))
Jscott, I highly appreciate your interest for my beasties :-D
I love your trunks too, and all old trunks in general; happily, as a hoarder, I don't collect them!
Only have two of my Grandma made in Indochina in 1920' from camphor wood.
After all these years, the smell is still strong!
Thanks kyra for the find words for my trunk collection. I've let my collection sort of dwindle down. I've sold about half of them now.
I suspect you're right, kyra. That's quite a bug!
Thank you Efe !
Thank you Jean, Mike, Kimmytheone, GeodeJem and Toni for the loves :-)
Vetraio, Sklo, Freiheit, Nana, Racer, Elisabethan and Kath ...

The designer did an amazing job of finding using the tigers eye for the body! With the stripes it reminds me of a bee... Great find!!
