Unsigned, but you can see an example of these butterfly brooches in an old jewelry creations catalog here. These were put out by the same company as Dodds and 11 W. 30th St, but sent out to crafters to set their own stones. If you look carefully you will see that a blue stone fell out while we were scanning, but has since been glued back in. Bright blue and green pave rhinestones in a golden finding adorn this distinctive butterfly with scalloped wings. With a wingspan of 2" wide, this lovely jewel is in Excellent condition. $35

Sterling Filigree Butterfly Brooch Circa 1950. A Victorian Revival piece, the sterling lacy twists and turns on this piece are fascinating. No markings, but tests as sterling. Well made and heavier for it's size than you might think. It is indeed a mystery; on the lower left side there is a square marking resembling a maker's mark; it looks like a man standing holding branch, and another figure opposite. On the back opposite is a blank place. I wish I had time too look up the mark, but the butterfly is really unusual and lovely, standing on it's own. The ruffled wingspan is 2 1/2" and the butterfly is 1 3/4" from top of antennae. The rolling safety clasp pin mechanism is is mounted on a curved V-bar. Very Good++ condition. $38 |

Large Vintage Chinese
Cloisonné Enameled Butterfly Necklace & Earrings SOLD Circa 1965. If you are still a flower child, look what a rare, fabulous set we have for you! The first time I spotted a similar set is on the cover of this book, Nicholls' Antique Enameled Jewelry. This set is designed after the look of rare antique Chinese cloisonné pins and necklaces. A double fan is the base piece decorated much the same as the one in the picture, with applied butterflies and flowers enameled in subtle blues, pale green, and very light lavender among foliage and vines. The base metal is textured in a way similar to mesh, but it is solid and is is 3 1/2" wide x 2 1/2: long, with 4" of golden chain fringe dangling from the center. Accented with jade colored cabs, each side held up with rope chain, this is a substantial, obvious designer piece with no tag to be found. Total length of the necklace is 18" but allows much more room due to the dip in the fan. The necklace has a large spring ring catch. The 1 1/"4 hoop earring are clip back and also enameled in pale green with blue leaves and flowers. Enjoy this scarce, beautiful piece from the days of flower power, when creativity seemed to be at it's peak. Everything is in Excellent condition. |
