A rare and beautifully crafted Victorian spider brooch from the 1880's, designed in gold and silver - a classic combination of the period. The piece features a striking natural cabochon blue sapphire forming the spiders body, weighing approximately 10 carats, with impressive depth and translucence.
The eyes are set with two vivid natural rubies, while the legs are adorned with forty-three rose-cut diamonds, each individually set to create subtle sparkle and lifelike detail. The silver-topped gold setting enhances the diamonds brilliance, while the underlying gold provides warmth and contrast a hallmark of high Victorian design.
An outstanding example of late 19th-century jewellery craftsmanship, this brooch embodies both curiosity and luxury, representing the Victorian fascination with nature and symbolism.
