Amazonite Butterfly Brooch
About the Item
This butterfly brooch, dated around 1940, is crafted in 18 k yellow gold and silver—a common combination in high jewelry of the period, allowing for both visual contrast and secure stone setting. The main structure is made of silver, meticulously set with numerous old European cut diamonds and round and oval-cut emeralds arranged in a geometric pattern that adds depth and symmetry to the wings.
The body of the insect features two cabochon-cut amazonites, a gemstone with a distinctive bluish-green hue, providing contrast to the predominantly green and brillants wings. The eyes are formed by two ruby cabochons, while the gold antennae end in delicate spirals, precisely executed and subtly soldered to the central structure. The legs are sculpted in gold with fine engraved details that faithfully mimic the natural anatomy of an insect, adding a carefully rendered three-dimensional effect. On the reverse, a pin-and-catch fastening system is discreetly integrated, preserving the aesthetic of the piece.
