Antique Victorian Butterfly Wing Necklace
Description
In Victorian symbolism, the butterfly represented the soul. Within religion, the cycle of a butterfly has meaning - life (caterpillar), death (chrysalis), rebirth or resurrection (butterfly).
Our unique butterfly wing pendant dates back to the Victorian era (1837-1901). The pendant was formally a brooch expertly transformed into a wearable pendant. The pendant features a stunning iridescent butterfly wing suspended in a glass and sterling silver frame. This piece was converted from a brooch into a pendant by our expert Hatton Garden London goldsmith.
