Incredible rare Victorian necklace set with real beetles c1900

This is a gorgeous and rare necklace set with five real iridescent beetle drops in open back settings. The setting and chain are rolled gold and there is a barrel clasp closure. The Victorians loved this type of scarab jewellery due to the nod to Egyptian motifs and the use of real insects. This was aligned with the popularity of taxidermy decorations for the home.
Size: The necklace is 36 cm long, drops measure 1.5 cm. As the necklace is quite short, please take this into consideration. Could be fitted with an extender.
Weight: 12 grams
Date: c1900
Condition: Excellent condition, no issues
Estimate: £100 – 150
