Look at those feet. We know, that starting an emerald, diamond, and ruby brooch with a remark on the feet seems a bit backward. But come on they are darling.

Moving to more important features…those luscious verdant emeralds. Graduated in size from the head through the length of the body, they transition to rose-cut diamonds along the sinuous tail.

Each leg is also encrusted with more diamonds. Two rubies serve as its eyes. Its size is substantial without being too long.

Undulating with lifelike realism, this one is ready to be worm all by its lonesome, or with a medley of other animal brooches.
