This vibrant design features reverse-set peridot-green wing stones, cobalt-blue body stones, pink rhinestone eyes, and a turquoise-colored teardrop abdomen in gold-tone metal.

Collectors of Schreiner jewelry will recognize several noteworthy construction clues, including reverse-set stones, dimensional assembly, textured wire legs and antennae, and a hand-fabricated wire framework supporting the abdomen and pin mechanism. The cobalt-blue stone type is also seen in documented Schreiner designs, and the overall construction closely resembles known unsigned Schreiner insect brooches.

Unsigned examples are attributed based on construction and design characteristics rather than a signature. A wonderful addition for collectors of Schreiner, figural jewelry, and exceptional mid-century American costume jewelry.

Very good vintage condition with light age-appropriate wear. See less
