A small but commanding butterfly rendered in silver-tone metal, its wings filled with crushed turquoise and pink stone chip inlay in a mosaic-like pattern. This style of chip inlay work was popular in Southwestern-influenced costume jewelry from the 1970s, made widely for the tourist and gift market but worn with genuine affection. The sculptural form and natural stone materials give it an earthy, grounded quality that reads as quietly collectible. A sweet find for lovers of nature motifs and mineral color.
Materials: Silver-tone base metal, crushed turquoise chip inlay, pink stone chip inlay
