Marcasite and Mother of Pearl Butterfly Brooch

This pretty silver butterfly brooch isn’t done justice by the picture but it’s a fine example of a marcasite and mother of pearl brooch set in sterling silver.  The centres of the wings are mother of pearl (often lighter in colour than the picture shows but as it’s a natural material the colour can vary slightly).  The wings are edged with marcasite stones which catch the light extremely well.  The body is silver and is hallmarked to prove that.

The butterfly weighs in at approx 13 1/2 grams and the size is 37mm from head to bottom of wing and 53mm approx from left to right.

The back of the butterfly brooch has a fairly substantial pin so will be extremely hard to get it lost.
