Vintage Monet Gold Tone Wire Wing Butterfly Brooch – Clear Rhinestone Spray Center Signed

Open wirework wings fanned wide, each ray of gold-tone wire catching the light like a drawn breath held mid-flight. The body clusters with clear rhinestones on radiating stems — a starburst rather than an ornament. Part of Monet's long-running Menagerie series, introduced in 1962 and produced through the 1980s, this butterfly is one of the most collectible iterations. Signed MONET© on the locking C-clasp.
