Description

An original Art Deco pendant with a Blue Morpho butterfly wing set beneath domed glass or rock crystal in a typical 1930s setting. The insect wing flashes vivid electric blue, violet and turquoise as it catches the light.

The back is fully enclosed and stamped SILVER FAT 202213.

We have hung the pendant on a new sterling silver 18-inch chain so it is ready to wear out of the box.

The piece is in excellent antique condition, with hardly any loss of butterfly scales and little abrasion to the surface of the dome. The silver has a lovely patina consistent with the age of the piece.

Size: Approx 3cm total drop, the pendant is 2cm along its square side.

Pendant weight: 4.9g.

FAQs

Art Deco butterfly wing jewellery, often associated with Thomas L. Mott and popularised during the 1920s and 1930s, uses reverse-painted glass to seal and protect iridescent morpho butterfly wings within metal settings.

These pieces typically combine genuine iridescent morpho butterfly wings with sterling silver, silver-gilt, or base metals, encased beneath a protective bevelled glass dome.

Authentic items from the early 20th century often feature specific maker marks, traditional pin or bail construction, natural variations in wing scales, and characteristic bezel settings rather than modern plastic glues.

Pair this piece with minimalist modern clothing to let the striking iridescent blue hues stand out as a focal point, or combine it with other antique silver accessories for a curated aesthetic.

Keep the item away from direct sunlight, moisture, perfumes, and harsh chemicals, as moisture and UV exposure can degrade the delicate natural wing scales and discolour the backing.
