Antique Victorian Butterfly Wing Sterling Silver Pendant Necklace
About the Item
In Victorian symbolism, the butterfly was believed to represent the soul—an emblem of transformation, hope, and immortality. Within religious contexts, the life cycle of a butterfly held deep significance: life (caterpillar), death (chrysalis), and rebirth or resurrection (butterfly).
This rare and ethereal butterfly wing pendant dates to the Victorian era (1837–1901). Originally crafted as a brooch, the piece has been sensitively converted into a wearable pendant by our expert Hatton Garden goldsmith. It features a shimmering, iridescent butterfly wing encased in a delicate sterling silver and glass frame—preserving nature’s beauty for generations to come.
