Victorian 14ct gold brooch Amethysts & diamonds Insect Beetle on leaf design

A lovely Victorian or Edwardian 14ct yellow gold brooch set with amethysts and diamonds made in a naturalistic design of leaves and an insect typical of the era. The insect resembles a beetle and is made of a cabochon amethyst set with fine twisted gold wire. This rests on the central leaf.  The beetle's eyes are set with small diamonds. The beetle is surrounded by a further 5 amethysts.
