Antique Bohemian Red Garnet Pearl Butterfly Insect Pendant Or Brooch Silver
About the Item
This is an absolutely wonderful and rare antique Art Nouveau - Art Deco Butterfly Insect Pendant Necklace or Brooch Pin set with magnificent flat cut Bohemian Garnet gems and Pearls in Silver. The stunning three dimensional butterfly insect is set throughout with large flat cut Bohemian Garnets and smaller round faceted Garnets. Flat cut garnets are earlier antique cuts and are highly desirable in antique garnet jewelry. The garnets are wonderful vivid red gems that infuse the fabulous butterfly with such life and character. The eyes of the butterfly are set with pearls.
The form and shape of the butterfly are fantastic and the insect shimmers with the natural wonder provided by the gorgeous blood red Bohemian Garnets. The jewel is a pendant which is convertible into a brooch. The pendant portion slides off of the pin stem and the piece can then be worn as a brooch. The butterfly is silver. The butterfly is life size which is so wonderful.
The Art Nouveau artisans were fascinated with nature and particularly insects and their insect creations are incredible feats of jewelry making. This one is extremely rare with its large size garnet gems and its fabulous three dimensional design. This whimsical butterfly dances delightfully across the body and creates a conversation piece to be passed on for generations. And insect inspired jewels are among the most highly desired and collected today.
The butterfly pendant/brooch is 1 3/4 inches (45mm) tall. It is 2 1/4 inches (56mm) wide.
The pendant weighs 14 grams.

- Antique Butterfly Rose Cut Diamond Ruby Pearl Pendant Brooch Necklace VictorianLocated in New York, NYThis is a spectacular antique Victorian - Belle Epoque Butterfly Pendant or Brooch set throughout with Rose Cut Diamonds, Pearls and Rubies in a gorgeous open work design in Silver atop 14 Karat Yellow Gold. This is one of the most beautiful Butterfly Insect jewels we have seen. The Butterfly has a detachable brooch pin on the reverse which can be easily unscrewed to convert the jewel to a pendant necklace. The Butterfly is set throughout its wings with Rose Cut Diamonds. Each diamond is set within its own open work section. The sections are then combined into a fully three dimensional butterfly with exquisite craftsmanship and artistry. In the center of the body are four stunning silvery white pearls which may be natural. The eyes of the insect are two round Ruby cabochons. The diamonds and pearls are set in silver as was the custom of the period in order to show off the diamonds to greater brilliance. The butterfly wings are masterworks of jewelry making and diamond setting. The extraordinary jewels are all set "a jour" - open backed - so that the light is allowed to filter through the gems and make them sparkle with the wonderful quality we love in the antique jewels. This whimsical butterfly dances delightfully around the neck or across the body and creates a conversation piece to be passed on for generations. And insect inspired jewels are all the rage today. And here we have the magnificent butterfly with the exquisite gems and delicate design - how rare! The Victorians were absolutely enamored with nature and insects and created jewels as well as sculptures of the fascinating creatures. These antique butterfly gems...Category
