The Jeweled and Enameled Moth

I found this while shopping at Goodwill. It's unusual but so well made.

Layers of art nouveau style brass stampings with a lovely patina make up the base of the brooch/pendant.

A large fire opal colored glass cabochon sit atop one green and one gold enameled heart shaped leaves.

These rest upon the back of a figural moth. It measures 2" x 1.5" and has a beautiful patina.

There is a brass and goldtone pin-back with an attached bail as a pendant option.

If you are interested in more pictures you can find them and this item at:
