Massive
Turquoise Blue/Periwinkle & Flashing Green Rhinestone Butterfly Brooch I've seen this possibly recent unsigned beauty somewhere, but never mind, it's gorgeous, and you'll never need another summertime brooch! This ostentatious butterfly offers slightly tiered layers of blazing aurora borealis navettes lined against rows of teal green chatons and a body with a coronet set blue head, a big oval aqua stone and smaller light blue navette for a body. Plus, the outer edges are lined with navettes in a color I've never seen before--it's somewhere between turquoise blue and periwinkle. The mix of colors is just astonishing. After checking carefully its clear that this particular lady never had antennae, so nothing is missing. Measuring 3 7/8" at the widest part of the wingspan and 3 7/8" tall from upper tip of wing to lower, this fabulous jewel will definitely be the most beautiful in the room! Stones are all clear, bright & sparkling. Excellent condition. $78 |

Germany
Golden Filaments Butterfly Earrings
Can you resist these? Very delicate, light, and subtle, the butterfly shapes are cut from plastic or some kind of thin material--I thought at first shell, but I think it's the glaze over the goldenrod and teal green enamel that gives the impression. Over the enamel and circling the edges is very fine gold tone gossamer threads woven for subtle glittering, like real butterfly wings. Finished off with faux pearls, these unique jewels should have a loving home in someone's jewelbox. Measuring 1" x 7/8", the earrings are signed on the clip, Germany. Very good+ condition. $20 |

Large Vintage Chinese
Cloisonné or Champleve Enameled Butterfly Necklace & Earrings Circa 1965. If you are still a flower child, look what a rare, fabulous set we have for you! The first time I spotted a similar set is on the cover of this book, Nicholls' Antique Enameled Jewelry. This set is designed after the look of rare antique Chinese cloisonné pins and necklaces. A double fan is the base piece decorated much the same as the one in the picture, with applied butterflies and flowers enameled in subtle blues, pale green, and very light lavender among foliage and vines. The base metal is textured in a way similar to mesh, but it is solid and is is 3 1/2" wide x 2 1/2: long, with 4" of golden chain fringe dangling from the center. Accented with jade colored cabs, each side held up with rope chain, this is a substantial, obvious designer piece with no tag to be found. Total length of the necklace is 18" but allows much more room due to the dip in the fan. The necklace has a large spring ring catch. The 1 1/"4 hoop earring are clip back and also enameled in pale green with blue leaves and flowers. Enjoy this scarce, beautiful piece from the days of flower power, when creativity seemed to be at it's peak. Everything is in Excellent condition. $125 |

Sterling Filigree Butterfly Brooch Circa 1950. A Victorian Revival piece, the sterling lacy twists and turns on this piece are fascinating. No markings, but tests as sterling. Well made and heavier for it's size than you might think. It is indeed a mystery; on the lower left side there is a square marking resembling a maker's mark; it looks like a man standing holding branch, and another figure opposite. On the back opposite is a blank place. I wish I had time too look up the mark, but the butterfly is really unusual and lovely, standing on it's own. The ruffled wingspan is 2 1/2" and the butterfly is 1 3/4" from top of antennae. The rolling safety clasp pin mechanism is soldered on with a curved V-bar. Very Good++ condition. $48 |
