About the Item

Pink Orange Lucite Twiggy-style Mod Butterfly Brooch 1960s, transparent double layer Traveling to us through time from the Laugh-in Era; The Swingin’ Sixties, I bring you this rare and unusual find. You will likely be the only one you know with an insect brooch like this. Looks like it was from an unmarked designer costume jewelry collection. Smooth, shiny black insect abdomen accents the middle of an otherwise translucent mariposa pin. V-shaped pin with safety clasp. Clasp is tarnished and I’m unable to polish due to the nature of the lucite surface. Normal polishing techniques are likely to damage this pin so I don’t recommend touching the surface with anything but normal wear and clean hands (no makeup) Bright fun colors* To my eye, the colors read as a see-through neon pink with another orange or saffron yellow layer. The layers are nice and thick, loose with some sort of pin to secure them together in the middle. *Please remember that *colors may vary* in person and may not look exactly the same as they do in the photo despite my careful effort. Please feel free to message me about color or condition. Thank you, Rachel Heu
