This 14k gold frog charm is detailed and lifelike, posed as if he were about to leap into the air. The charm is covered in green guilloche enamel, transparent enough to reveal the textured gold underneath it. The enamel settles nicely into the spotted gold, creating the illusion of frog skin and giving definition to the little creature’s muscles and limbs. The eyes are done with impeccable detail as small gold balls with tiny blue enamel dots inside them. The bottom of the frog is raw gold that makes a beautiful contrast to the bright green. The lifelike quality to this piece is what makes it special—it really does seem like this little frog has hopped off a tree and into this charm.
The charm is marked on the bail as 14k gold. The bail measures 4 x 6 mm. The frog measures 7/16” x 9/16”. The charm weighs 1.74 grams.
Circa 1970’s.
