This 9ct yellow gold brooch dates from the Art Nouveau period of 1890 and displays a distinctive butterfly motif accompanied by flowing whiplash curves, leaf details, and two bezel-set cabochons. The piece is set with one larger round cabochon moonstone and one smaller round cabochon moonstone, complemented by openwork foliate tendrils and a central butterfly with textured wings. The metalwork exhibits a polished finish in gold alongside the white of the moonstones against a purple fabric background. The item measures 3.6 cm wide by 2.5 cm high and weighs 4.3 grams, complete with its original pin on the reverse. The construction incorporates scrolling wirework and stamped leaf forms with visible veins. This decorative accessory is suited for fastening to garments such as lapels, scarves, or collars in a modern wardrobe.

FAQs

Art Nouveau jewellery, created predominantly between 1890 and 1910, is defined by organic forms, sinuous whiplash curves, and motifs derived from nature, such as insects, flora, and flowing lines.

Craftsmen during this era frequently combined gold, silver, and plique-a-jour enamel with iridescent gemstones such as moonstones, opals, and pearls to capture natural light dynamics.

Authentic pieces generally display hand-finished openwork, period-appropriate hallmarking, asymmetrical biological design structures, and original pin fittings such as C-clasps or tube hinges.

A gold brooch can be attached to coat lapels, silk scarves, knitwear collars, or hatbands, or placed within a glass frame as a decorative object.

Clean gently with a soft-bristled brush using lukewarm water and mild soap, avoiding harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, or abrasive polishing cloths that could damage softer cabochons.
