Butterfly Girl - New Hair Band with an Edwardian Butterfly Brooch (sold)
This Antique Bohemian pressed filigree Butterfly brooch is a delicate and perfect hair ornament for a Bride or Bridesmaid! The Butterfly has a selection of blue jewels - an aqua blue oval cabouchon for its body and a round faceted glass crystal in a slightly different shade of light blue for the head, tiny 'flat back' jewels adorn its lacy wings. All these glass crystal gems are claw set in position and would have been placed there by hand when this lovely antique brooch was made around one hundred years ago! The metal is pressed brass with a silver tone plating which has aged to a gentle dark silver with a glint of gold showing through in places. The brooch has been fixed to a flexible band with a blue satin covering. In the photos the head piece is shown on my life size model, Kate. Unfortunately Kate's hair is just painted on so a photo shows the band on a real human being so you can see how it can be incorporated under hair too! The Butterfly Vintage Brooch measures 2.5 inches by 2 inches at its widest points.
