The vanity of the Victorian Era knew no bounds. Not at all out of the ordinary to wear multiple bracelets around the wrist nor two or three rings upon several fingers, the coif was not ignored.

Another of those versatile items of antique jewelry emerges with this horn hair comb and pendant combination. Masterful construction and a fine eye for design is reflected with the amazing little mechanism attached to the comb.

Honey toned horn has been carved into a two prong hair accessory appointed with gold fittings and attached with a little scalloped wheel to be turned to release the brooch.

The butterfly antennae and its frame are crafted of 10k rose gold. Appointed with a cornucopia of diamonds, rubies, sapphires and freshwater pearls, the insect themed work of art brooch virtually floats through the air without care.

Details: Sixteen rose cut diamonds, total weight of .32 carats (I-J color; SI2-3 clarity); seven round faceted rubies, each .10 carats, total .70 carats; six round faceted sapphires, total of .40 carats (two at .10 carats each, two at .07 carats each, 2 at .03 carats each) and three graduated natural freshwater half seed pearls 2 to 3 mm in diameter.
