14k Gold Onyx Disk w TINY Rose-Cut Diamond Fly Insect Bee Pendant - R

For sale is an antique 14k yellow gold onyx pendant and diamond pendant featuring a tiny insect or shoo fly pendant.  Part of the Sea Green Mermaid Reimagined Vintage Collection, we had our jeweler create this pendant from a pair of Art Deco screw back earrings. This pendant illustrates the Egyptian revival during the Art Deco era, when onyx, scarabs, and insects again became popular in jewelry making.

The pendant is a slightly concave round lozenge of smooth black onyx. In the center is a small but intricately detailed fly or bee in three dimensions. The fly's teardrop wings are bezel-set with tiny rose-cut diamonds. The back is set with a hand-cut blue sapphire. The fly's head and six legs are carefully detailed. 

The pendant has a large bail to accommodate your chain. This lovely, antique Art Deco pendant is stunning worn alone, or fun to layer with other similar era pendants (garnet, cameo, pearl, onyx, diamond).

*Note: We have two almost identical pendants for sale, R has a slightly shorter right front leg than L

The item shows normal wear for a pre-owned piece (light scratches, dings, dents and scuff marks.)
