A stunning butterfly brooch that captures the delicate beauty of nature using the masterfully executed plique-à-jour enamel technique. The wings shimmer with translucent panels of vibrant blue and sea-green enamel, evoking the look of stained glass and allowing light to pass through with a brilliant glow. The body of the butterfly is meticulously set with glittering old-cut diamonds and accented by rich, crimson natural rubies, all set in a mix of 18kt yellow gold and silver. The choice of materials—silver for the diamond-set body, and gold for the frame and reverse—is characteristic of fine antique jewelry. This exquisite, museum-quality piece is a timeless jewel of remarkable artistry and color.
