A charming little talisman with layers of meaning: this fly brooch is crafted in 9K gold and silver, set with sparkling champagne diamonds and rich red garnets. Measuring approximately 17x24mm (about 1 inch wide) and weighing 2.3 grams, it's delicate yet full of character.
In the Victorian era, fly jewelry was more than a whimsical motif. It served as a memento mori, a gentle reminder of life's fleeting nature, as well as a symbol of protection, believed to ward off evil. The diamonds on this piece represent strength and courage, while the garnets, January's birthstone, symbolize protection and the strength of true friendship.
And of course, there's the age-old saying about being a “fly on the wall” ; quietly present, observant, and keeper of secrets. Whether for yourself or as a meaningful gift for someone special, this brooch is a beautiful reminder to live fully, protect fiercely, and listen deeply.
