Art Deco Butterfly Wing Silver Panel Ring | Antique

1900 - 1920
Description

This stunning Art Deco ring features a rectangular blue morpho butterfly wing under glass and is set in a bezel silver gallery. It is a perfect example of the Art Deco era, which used bold, bright jewellery and unique materials made into fascinating shapes with superb attention to detail.

The colour of the butterfly wings is breathtaking. They feature vivid iridescent shades of blue 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 worldwide.

These pieces were popular souvenirs in the 1920s—30s, often handcrafted, and remain highly collectable today.

Popularised in the 1920s and 1930s, butterfly wing jewellery features iridescent wingsoften from the Morpho butterflysealed beneath glass or crystal mounts. The style gained widespread adoption following display at the 1924 British Empire Exhibition.

These pieces are constructed using sterling silver settings, preserved iridescent butterfly wings, and a protective cabochon top made from clear glass or quartz crystal to seal the wing from air exposure.

Authentic period pieces feature hallmark stamps such as STERLING or maker marks like TLM, along with structural iridescence that changes colour under light rather than flat printed paper or synthetic foil.

An Art Deco panel ring functions as a statement piece that complements neutral tailoring, dark evening wear, or minimalist contemporary silver jewellery.

To prevent water from penetrating the bezel and destroying the wing, avoid liquid cleaners or immersion in water entirely. Clean silver components gently using a dry microfibre cloth.
