High-End Vintage Purple & Opaline Rhinestone Gold-Tone Butterfly Brooch

Gorgeous butterfly brooch dating back to the 1950’s-1960’s era. The brooch prominently showcases large, faceted navette-cut (marquise) rhinestones in a deep lavender/amethyst hue down the center body and wing tips. The borders of the wings are densely set with smaller, round milky-pink opal rhinestones that catch the light beautifully. The stones are set in a gold-tone prong setting, complete with elegant, detailed wirework loop antennas at the top. Measures 1.5” x 1.5” with a secure roll-over clasp. Pristine vintage condition.   *Many listings represent this piece as Juliana D&E but it does not appear in the book nor is there a reference number providing an accurate correlation. The antenna construction is more common amongst Weiss pieces but again, there is no clear indicator linking this piece to a specific maker.
