- Lot Description
**First Time At Auction**
Western Europe / United States, Victorian era, ca. 19th to early 20th century CE. A beautiful sterling silver dragonfly brooch and pendant with dazzling gemstones: diamonds, sapphires, tanzanite, and tourmaline. The faceted wine-red tourmaline is mounted in the thorax and deep blue sapphires set in the head as eyes, and abdomen - each segment separated by diamonds. The wings are studded with diamonds and violet tanzanite highlighting the tips. One unique aspect is that brooch clasp was ingeniously designed to be removable via a threaded pin bolt, a nice ability when using this as a pendant. The phrase and idiom "flight of fancy" certainly applies to this piece! Size: 3.2" L x 2.75" W (8.1 cm x 7 cm); silver quality: 92%; weight:26.4 grams
Provenance: private Superior, Colorado, USA collection

Excellent. Some missing diamonds were replaced in modern times, but are nearly indiscernible from the rest. The rest of the gemstones are intact and very good. Brooch clasp is removable! Wearable condition.
