Circa 1900, a striking Edwardian/Victorian butterfly wing bar brooch. Grace your lapel, add an elegant touch to your pashminas and scarves or even his cravat, the possibilities for this sturdy extra long pin are limitless!
Crafted in silky smooth sterling silver, the iridescent gold and sapphire blue butterfly wing is mounted into a lozenge shaped setting in the centre with a bamboo trim and Shamrock accents.
