“belle Epoque” Brooch “18k Gold, Ruby Diamonds, Sapphire, Baroque Pearl And Enamel.

“Belle Epoque” brooch in 18 k gold, ruby diamonds, sapphire, baroque pearl and enamel. Superb brooch simulating a wasp on a crescent moon, entirely set with rose-cut diamonds, a cabochon sapphire, lines of rubies, the wings are enameled and fixed on a beautiful baroque pearl. Wasps, active in pollination, represent fertility and abundance. They symbolize the possibility of new growth and wealth in different aspects of life. Very fine and refined work. Probably a gift for a honey. The brooch is in good condition, note slight wear on the enamel of the large wing
