It was made circa 1830 and it’s body has been set with a long pear shaped chrysoprase with a smaller chrysoprase above and a natural split pearl in the head. The enamelling on the wings is incredibly detailed with gold bobble edging.
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.

So the wearing of this butterfly carries wonderful meanings.
