Description: Set of 3 Edwardian / early Deco 14 carat gold and enamel jewelry ladybug spirals, used to decorate hair or collar or button-holes. Made in Germany, early 20th century - 1910 - 1930.

Each lady bug is approx 1/2 inch long (including the protruding bits). They weigh 6 grams.

Beautifully modelled ladybirds with slightly open wings showing part of his back in gold. The wings are enamelled in yellow, blue and red, respectively. Black dots on the enamelling. Black enamelled faces with white eyes. Little protruding gold feelers and legs and gold borders of the wings. Each ladybird is attached to a strong little gold spring. This would be used in a number of ways: it could be wound around a strand of hair, it could be attached to a collar or other button hole.

Each ladybug has engraved hallmarks: engraved AR in a triangle; a mark that is difficult to read, but probably says 14K and 750; GERMANY.

Very good condition. No damage and no wear to enamel.
