Description Antique butterfly brooch, hallmarked for Birmingham in 1920. This finely detailed silver enamel butterfly brooch features vivid shades of green, orange, cream, and black, finished with delicate guilloché-style enamel work that catches the light beautifully. Designed as a decorative brooch, it sits perfectly on knitwear, lapels, scarves, or dresses, making it an easy everyday antique accent or a charming statement piece. This piece suits someone who loves nature-inspired jewellery, collectors of antique enamel, or anyone looking for a unique vintage brooch for weddings, special occasions, or thoughtful gifting. Design & Craftsmanship The butterfly form shows careful hand-enamelling across both wings, with layered translucent colours that create depth and movement. The silver framework outlines each wing, while the central body adds balance to the design. Behind, a traditional pin and C-clasp complete the piece, typical of early 20th-century construction. Butterflies symbolise transformation and renewal, which made them popular motifs in Edwardian and early Art Nouveau jewellery. As a result, pieces like this often carried quiet sentimental meaning alongside their decorative appeal. Why we love this brooch This antique butterfly brooch feels joyful and wearable. The enamel still shows lovely colour, and the butterfly design feels timeless. It works just as well on a winter coat as it does on a summer dress, which makes it an easy piece to reach for. Styling & Versatility Wear it on a cardigan or blazer for everyday charm. Alternatively, pin it to a scarf or hat for a softer vintage look. It also makes a thoughtful gift for lovers of antique jewellery, enamel collectors, or anyone drawn to symbolic designs. Key Features MATERIALS: Silver, enamel DIMENSIONS: Approx 40mm x 20mm.
