Fantastic, huge and hefty vintage sterling silver brooch. This has to be the largest and most spectacular butterfly pins I have ever seen! It features 2 large inset black Onyx cabochons for the upper part of the wings and each of the lower wings has raised, bezel set amethyst gemstones and there are 2 more Amethyst gemstones on each tip of the top wings. The entire piece is adorned with brilliant cut Marcasite gemstones, giving it that extra sparkle. Positively gorgeous!

Marcasite is a gemstone that has been used in jewelry since the time of the ancient Greeks. Marcasite jewelry has become a common and accessible commodity because of its old-world charm.

It has been professionally polished and looks amazing. All stones are secure and fully intact. Overall this stunning piece of wearable art is in excellent condition with no damage of any kind. Definitely a head-turning statement piece. Included with purchase is a converter so it can be worn as a pendant if preferred.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE STEM PART OF THE PIN BACK HAS NOT BEEN TESTED AND MAY NOT BE STERLING SILVER AND THE ADAPTER IS NOT STERLING SILVER. I'm including this disclaimer only to ensure there are no issues with the authentication process, if applicable. In no way does this detract from the value of this stunning piece.
