Edwardian Paste Bat Brooch in 9 Carat Gold

A wonderfully unusual Edwardian brooch, featuring a charming bat with outstretched wings, poised mid flight upon a solid 9 carat yellow gold bar fitting.

The body of the bat glows with a soft, ethereal pale blue paste, while the wings shimmer with diamond like paste stones, catching the light with a subtle sparkle. Tiny red paste eyes lend the creature a vivid touch of personality, all set into crisp silver that enhances every fine detail of its form.

During the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, bats were admired not only as nocturnal symbols of mystery but also as emblems of good fortune. This brooch captures that spirit perfectly: a fusion of whimsy, craftsmanship, and Edwardian elegance. The contrast of cool silver, golden warmth, and gentle blue stones makes for an especially striking piece that feels both dramatic and refined.

A rare and delightful jewel for any collector of antique curiosities, or for anyone drawn to the quiet magic of the night.
