Description

This lot is accompanied by an Independant Gemologist Appraisal letter

An elegant 18k plique-à-jour diamond butterfly brooch with hinged wings. A single diamond at the end of each antenna. The enameled wings swivel on the body of the butterfly, which is florentine in style, allowing various configurations of wings, open and closed. Plique-à-jour enamel work allows a natural translucency, to the enamel, similar to that found in nature, and makes it ideal for rendering leaves, flowers, and insect wings. No evident markings. The weight is 9 dwts.

1 3/4" high x 2 1/4" wide.
