Vintage sterling Gecko lizard brooch loaded with sparkles

 

  Loaded with sparkling marcasites this vintage gecko lizard brooch would look quite spectacular as he crawls down the front of your shirt or sweater.Because they are a twilight and night creature their role is that of the dream keepers and shapeshifters. The gecko is believed to be an ancestral spirit by many Pacific peoples. It is the "grand totem" of the people of New Caledonia.The gecko lizard is one of the few reptiles that have a voice and in Hawaii the Gecko's chirp is often taken as an affirmation of spiritual significance.  He measures 2 1/2" long and is solid sterling and is marked 925. Rich old patina on the silver really  brings out the sparkle of these vintage faceted marcasites.       VintageSparkles offers Layaway on all our pieces regardless of which site it comes from.All layaway payments will need to be in the form of a check or money order only.
