Precious pieces in the form of small animals appear again and again in the history of jewellery. They first became a major fashion in the last third of the 19th century. Insect pendants and brooches were "le dernier cri", the latest craze in the metropolises of Europe, and countless beetles, butterflies, bees and dragonflies adorned the collars and necklines of wealthy ladies. A century later, animal-shaped brooches were once again all the rage. Each of the major jewelry houses had corresponding models in its range, which always lovingly exaggerated the characteristics of the animals depicted in a cute and amusing way. Van Cleef & Arpels stood out in particular with their famous designs for a lion and a giraffe, but Cartier and Maubussin also had cats and dogs in their range, as did the London goldsmiths Kutchinsky, whose most famous design, a rabbit, was a particular success in 1968. This insect brooch follows in this tradition and was created in the 1980s. It is made of gold and depicts a bird with outstretched wings perched on a branch. Its body is made of yellow gold, which is partially colored white by an overlay of rhodium. A small green emerald forms the eye of the feathered companion, whose colors create a wonderfully summery accent.
