In real life, gecko lizards probably aren’t exactly charming. But you know, anthropomorphizing them in commercials has made them seem like cute little critters.
If you like your reptiles a little more abstract and a lot sparklier, then this Roberto Coin iteration is probably right up your alley. Set in 18k white gold, it is studded with green (aka demantoid) garnets and diamonds. And described on Coin’s site as “an ironic jewel, symbol of goodness and good fortune.” Not sure where the irony is but this will set you back € 1.865. OK, maybe the irony is that a real gecko will only cost you Cdn $49 and it’s on sale no less. But it would look kind of creepy worn around your neck. Plus you don’t have to clean up after the jewelled version.
