The wing covers are formed by two domed garnets of deep wine colour, while the thorax is set with rose cut diamonds and tiny senailles in a silvertop. Ruby eyes give a sly, alert expression, and a single pearl finial softens the line of the bar. With the wing cases eased open, it feels less pinned than briefly persuaded to stay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition \u003c\/b\u003eVery good condition\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCountry of origin \u003c\/b\u003eFrance\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePeriod \u003c\/b\u003eCirca 1860\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c!-- material-technique --\u003e \u003cb\u003eMaterial\u003c\/b\u003e 18 carat yellow gold (touchstone tested)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c!-- Diamonds --\u003e \u003cb\u003eDiamonds \u003c\/b\u003eFourteen\u003c!--more rose cuts \u0026 senailles--\u003e \u003c!--notonreportbegin--\u003e\u003c!--notonreportend--\u003erose cut diamonds\u003c!--notonreportbegin--\u003e\u003c!--notonreportend--\u003e and \u003c!--notonreportbegin--\u003e\u003c!--notonreportend--\u003esenailles\u003c!--notonreportbegin--\u003e\u003c!--notonreportend--\u003e.
