Cheerful Vintage Butterfly "en Tremblant" as a Brooch, Circa 1995

Description

This butterfly is a jewel that brought a smile to our faces when we were able to acquire it from a Berlin estate. It is particularly precious: red rubies, blue sapphires and green emeralds together with sparkling white diamonds adorn the wings. The center of the butterfly's body consists of a beautiful, untreated ruby cabochon of an intense red color. The clever distribution of the gemstones gives the butterfly a wonderful closeness to nature. The colourful wings are also mounted on golden feathers so that they bounce with every movement, giving the butterfly a lively quality. The "en tremblant" type of brooch was first used by goldsmiths in the 19th century. The additional movement not only made a piece of jewellery more interesting, but also allowed the light from the jewels to sparkle even more magnificently. The large butterfly is therefore part of a great tradition in several ways. After all, its motif also has a history: butterflies, bees, flies and all sorts of other creatures have populated women's collars and necklines since the late 19th century - and have not disappeared from them to this day. The butterfly has evolved over the last few decades. The wings and body are made from high-carat rose gold, which has been rhodium-plated white in the diamond area. This detail and the cuts of the gemstones suggest that it was created in the 1990s. The variety of colours of the piece allows combinations in almost all summery colors, but the jewel also shines on dark fabrics and will not miss its effect. We have commissioned an independent expert opinion that confirms the quality of the materials used. For dating, see for example David Bennett/Daniela Mascetti: Understanding Jewellery, London 2010, p. 471.
