Beautifully made, this whimsical octopus is covered in rose-cut diamonds set in 18k yellow gold. In one tentacle he holds a gem encrusted fish. Although it is made in an older style, we believe this estate brooch is of more recent manufacture than the style implies. Measuring 2 1/8" by 1 15/16", this brooch would have a dazzling and dramatic impact on any lapel. Condition is excellent.
