Edwardian 18ct Gold & Silver Frog Brooch set with Rose Diamonds & Cabochon Rubies

642S
240 Admirers Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

An amazing and well modelled Novelty brooch that features a frog. In ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, frogs symbolised fertility, while in classical antiquity, the Greeks and Romans associated frogs with fertility and harmony. His body is silver and has been set with specially selected graduated rose diamonds. His eyes are small cabochon rubies within gold rub over settings. His whole belly has been engraved with tiny semi circles. The pin has a secure roll over clasp. We have another smaller frog on the site.

Ollys Pick

Frog brooches are rare so I was thrilled to find a small collection. This is one of them.
