Made from the finest 925 sterling silver, the brooch gives a feeling of luxury and timeless beauty. The careful use of enamel in delicate shades of sky blue and vivid green makes the veined wings of the butterfly glow. Accents in shades of amethyst at the head and wing tips add an extra dimension of depth and sophistication.
