Late Victorian 15ct Gold & Silver Butterfly Brooch set with Diamonds with Cabochon Ruby Eyes

411Y
Rare Find

A stunning 15ct gold and silver butterfly brooch that was made circa 1900. It has been claw set with graduated early brilliant cut diamonds within millgrain detail that have an approximate total weight of over five and a half carats. The eyes have been set with small cabochon cut rubies.

The butterfly is a symbol of the soul, immortality, rebirth and resurrection, the ability to transform, a butterfly is born, transforming from a caterpillar. Also, the butterfly is a symbol of the Great Goddess. The image of the Great Goddess goes back to the ancient times of human history, to the Paleolithic. This supreme deity personified heaven and earth at the same time, life and death.

So the wearing of this brooch carries wonderful meanings as well as being a very decorative piece of jewellery.
