Vintage Mid-Century 18K Frog Pin w/Emerald Eyes

This is a cute vintage frog brooch that is truly exquisitely cute and well made, with bezel set emerald eyes, two sections of textured gold on its back, and webbed feet to give it a life-like and natural feel. The body plays two finishes against each other: the head, legs, and webbed feet are bright-polished and smooth, while the back has two deep fluted ribbed sections with a matte in between, textured ground in the recesses, giving the piece real depth. The eyes are set with two round green emeralds and the detailing through the toes and the curve of the back legs is what sells the realism.

On the reverse, the brooch is fitted with a horizontal pin and clasp running the length of the body. Its small scale and sense of humor make it an easy, characterful pin to wear on a jacket lapel, a knit, or a collar, where the contrast of polished and textured gold catches the light. Stamped 18k on its foot.
