Silver-tone figural lizard brooches with this level of scale detail are not as common as the floral or bird pins of the same era.
A vintage silver-tone lizard brooch cast in dimensional relief, with raised scale texture across the body and two small red eye stones. The finish is an oxidised silver tone that darkens the recessed areas between scales, giving it depth and definition.
The form is naturalistic — four spread legs, articulated toes, and a long curving tail. Lightweight at 6 g, despite the level of surface detail.
A piece like this works on a jacket lapel, a coat collar, or pinned to a scarf or bag. The scale is narrow enough (6 × 2 cm) that it sits neatly without overpowering lighter fabrics. It reads as a character piece — deliberate, a little unconventional, not sweet.
