About the Item

A jewel of striking contrast and beauty, this pendant features a finely detailed butterfly in 14k gold, its wings shimmering with blue and yellow enamel, poised gracefully atop a polished onyx backdrop. The dark, glossy stone enhances the luminosity of the enamel, creating a dramatic interplay of light and color. The piece was originally crafted as an antique brooch (circa 1910) and has been thoughtfully transformed with the addition of a custom 14k gold bail, giving it renewed life as a pendant while preserving its historic artistry. The pendant measures approximately 1.7 inches from top to bottom by 0.9 inches wide and weighs 8.4 grams. It remains in great antique condition, with vibrant enamel and rich detailing throughout. For assurance of authenticity and quality, the gold has been professionally tested using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis and traditional acid testing, confirming its 14k fineness. Symbolizing transformation, renewal, and the soul, this butterfly pendant is both a wearable work of art and a meaningful antique treasure — perfect for collectors of enamel jewelry and lovers of nature-inspired design. Materials: onyx, enamel, 14k gold.
