Vintage Damascene Butterfly Brooch with Faux Pearl Antennae
A striking vintage damascene-style butterfly brooch with an unusual combination of intricate metalwork, a vivid red body, and delicate faux pearl-tipped antennae.
The dramatically shaped wings feature ornate blackened designs accented with gold and silver tones. Fine beaded borders follow the sweeping lines of the wings, while tiny geometric and floral motifs fill the individual sections. Small clear rhinestone accents add just a touch of sparkle without overwhelming the detailed metalwork.
The bright red enameled body creates a fantastic contrast against the metallic wings, while two creamy faux pearls finish the antennae—a particularly charming detail that gives this butterfly tons of personality.
