FAQs

In Victorian jewellery design, butterflies symbolized rebirth, soul, and transformation, becoming prominent motifs during the naturalism movement of the late nineteenth century.

Victorian craftsmen frequently combined sterling silver bases with applied rose gold or yellow gold accents, adding cut paste stones, glass, or natural gemstones to enhance detail.

Authentic pieces usually feature hand-engraved embellishments, C-clasp fasteners, extended pin stems, and occasionally hallmarks or purity stamps consistent with nineteenth-century silver manufacturing.

An antique brooch can be affixed to blazer lapels, coat collars, silk scarves, or waistband fastenings, and can also be displayed in glass shadow boxes when not in use.

Wipe gently with a soft, dry silver-polishing cloth, avoiding harsh chemical liquid cleaners or immersion in water which can loosen set stones or degrade metal overlays.
