A gecko mid-climb, frozen in gold-tone metal with a body scattered in aurora borealis rhinestones that shift between gold, pink, and iridescent white depending on the light. Green rhinestone eyes anchor the head with just enough color to feel intentional. The textured, engraved body gives the piece a tactile quality that reads well up close and from a distance. Figural animal brooches like this one have a long history in costume jewelry — and the gecko, with its grip and stillness, translates particularly well into pin form.
Materials: Gold-tone base metal; aurora borealis rhinestones; green rhinestone eyes; needle pin with roller catch
