Product Description
Cris saw this antique fly in a window of a jeweler's shop in Amsterdam and had to go in and see it. Made in the late 1890's to early 1910's, this fly is incredibly detailed, with workmanship that is just not done anymore. The center stone is a rose cut diamond; there are also eight additional rose cut diamonds on the wings, two tiny ruby eyes, and six seed pearls on the body, separated by two rows of blue enamel. All is set on a 3/4" 18k gold body. The small flower that hangs from the fly's feet has seven diamond stones (modern) set in 14k gold. Cris added the 14k gold chain, which is from the early 1910's. It has an interesting open link with plaques that depict three enamel diamonds in black.
