The Emperor Gum Moth is not a native species to New Zealand but is very well loved by New Zealanders all the same. One of our largest moths, the Emperor Gum Moth has stunning wing patterns and spots of colour.
The Emperor Gum Moth brooch - Onyx - is hand carved in Puriri (Native Timber to New Zealand) and is one of two brooches based on the Emperor Gum Moth from the recent Homeland Collection.This particular brooch features stunning jet black onyx cabochons set into 9ct yellow gold settings. The antennae are also crafted in 9ct yellow gold with a strong backing plate of blackened Sterling Silver with 'Emperor Gum Moth' engraved.
This is a stunning piece to set you out from the crowd.
Includes a Steph Lusted Jewellery printed jewellery box.
