Victorian Era Butterfly Brooch/ Watch Hanger With Seed Pearls & Diamond

Delicate seed pearls trace the sculptural wings of this enchanting Victorian butterfly, fashioned in 14K yellow gold. Eighty graduated pearls are finely set along the wings and body, their soft luster beautifully contrasting with the warm gold borders. Layered, scalloped wing contours and slender, curved antennae give the butterfly a graceful sense of movement.

A 0.19-carat diamond sparkles at the center, providing a brilliant focal point amid the pearl detailing. Gently angled wings add dimension, revealing the design’s elegant construction from different perspectives. Equally lovely as a brooch or a pendant, this butterfly brings the romance of Victorian jewelry to a neckline or lapel.
