Estate 14KT White Gold Emerald and Diamond Grasshopper Brooch, ca. 1990’s

Crafted in 14kt white gold, this estate grasshopper brooch from the 1990’s features twenty-one square step cut emeralds measuring 2 x 2mm, weighing approximately 0.63tcw, channel set in rows along the back. A round emerald measuring 1.75mm and weighing approximately 0.02ct is set as the eye, and twenty-two single cut diamonds measuring 1.3mm, weighing approximately 0.22tcw with G-H color and I1 clarity, accent the head, segmented body, and wing tip. The brooch measures 1 7/8 inches wide and 3/4 inch tall, weighs 6.79 grams, and is stamped 14K, with a pin stem and catch closure.

Emeralds are prized for their rich green color, and here the neat rows of square step cut stones bring that color forward as the main feature of the design. The diamond accents follow the curved segments of the body, while the polished gold legs, with finely textured detailing at the joints and feet, give the grasshopper a lively, poised stance. The open, dimensional construction keeps the brooch light for its size, and it sits well on a lapel, jacket, or scarf.

A delightful choice for collectors of figural and insect jewelry, this grasshopper brooch pairs vivid emeralds with diamond accents and fine 14kt white gold craftsmanship. It makes a memorable gift for a nature lover or a playful addition to a collection of gemstone brooches.
