Frog Brooch with Jade Cabochon

This item is a brooch or pin in the shape of a frog. It features a polished, and slightly greenish-translucent cabochon stone, likely jade or a similar gemstone, forming the body of the frog. The frog's limbs, head, and eyes are rendered in a polished yellow metal, consistent in appearance with gold or gold-plated material. The surface of the metal is smooth and shows a high polish, with no discernible surface wear, scratches, or damage visible in the provided image. The construction appears soldered. The head is simple with raised bumps for eyes. The limbs are depicted in a seated or resting pose, with defined fingers and toes. The overall style suggests a whimsical or naturalistic theme. There are no visible manufacturer's marks, hallmarks, or signatures in the image. The setting for the stone appears to be a simple bezel setting, holding the large cabochon in place. The piece has a generally clean look with no obvious patina or discoloration. Its age is difficult to determine definitively from the image alone, but the style could place it anywhere from the mid to late 20th century to more contemporary. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with smooth finishing on the metal elements and a well-set central stone.
