Plique-à-jour enamel is beloved for its glowing, stained-glass-like effect. Our butterfly’s body is topped with applied, white gold mounts that hold both bead and bezel set brilliant-cut diamonds. The legs, expressive antenna, and underbelly of the butterfly are constructed dimensionally, so it reads like a small sculpture. We think this is especially wonderful, thanks its bold and unexpected color combination! Closure is a two-eared safety catch.
