Vintage 14K Yellow Gold Butterfly Brooch with Chalcedony Wings
A striking vintage 14K yellow gold butterfly brooch from our Estate Jewelry collection, featuring luminous blue chalcedony wings and beautifully sculptural goldwork.
The butterfly is crafted in substantial 14K yellow gold, with richly colored translucent blue wings that create a striking contrast against the warm gold body. The wings are believed to be composed of dyed quartz or chalcedony, giving them their vibrant saturated color and soft, luminous translucence. Delicate curled antennae and colorful accents add an expressive, whimsical character, while the finely detailed goldwork and polished finish give the piece the presence of a true fine jewelry collectible.
At approximately 11 grams, this is a substantial vintage jewel with strong visual impact. It may be worn traditionally as a brooch on a jacket, lapel, dress, or scarf, or displayed as part of a curated fine jewelry collection.
The reverse is marked 14K.
