A striking vintage butterfly brooch made from silver-tone metal with wings inlaid with shimmering abalone shell. The natural shell displays vivid blue, green and purple tones that shift beautifully in the light, sealed beneath a smooth, glassy surface. It has a secure roll-over clasp on the reverse and measures approximately 3 × 3.5 cm.
In good vintage condition with gentle age-related wear consistent with age and use. The piece has a nice weight and quality feel.
A beautiful, eye-catching brooch that adds a touch of coastal charm and would make a lovely gift for a vintage jewellery lover.
