This sweet Art Deco Brooch features Blue Morpho butterfly wings under glass set into a butterfly gallery in Sterling Silver. This brooch is a perfect example of the Art Deco era, using bold, bright jewellery and unique materials made into fascinating shapes and attention to detail.
The colour of the butterfly wings is breathtaking, featuring vivid iridescent shades of blues at different angles as they catch the light.
Butterfly wing jewellery has a long history and was popular from the late 1800s to the 1960s. It is gaining popularity again with sustainable butterfly farms around the world; the Blue morphos live in the tropical forests of Latin America from Mexico to Colombia.
This stunning brooch is truly wonderful, and the butterfly wing is in excellent condition. This would make a wonderful gift or a great addition to any collection.
