Pigs might fly!!
 
This substantial rose cut diamond encrusted piggy has her legs spread out front and back as if she is trying to jump over the moon.
 
She wears a gold and ruby collar and has two ruby eyes.
I love her gold tongue that lols out of her mouth with exertion, and her cute gold cork screw tail and golden hooves.
 
I converted this from a brooch. The brooch pin had french marks.
 
Pigs in 19th Century jewelry symbolised abundance, fertility, and good luck.
