Ruby eyes, a natural demantoid garnet head, and the rest of this perky creature come alive with a surface of radiant natural pearls.

Fifty-three half, natural saltwater pearls line the lithe body of this salamander or lizard.

The yellow gold is 14k, he or she is crawling along with a bright yellow green garnet to the top of its head and two tiny ruby cabochon eyes.

No detail is left to chance…note that on one side of the lizard, the pearls are just a hint grayer than the rest, adding a touch of three-dimensionality to the brooch.
