A butterfly in mid-flight rendered in brushed satin gold tone — the wings textured with a fine crosshatch finish that diffuses light softly, while a column of prong-set amethyst marquise rhinestones runs through the center body in a cascading spine of deep purple. The contrast between the quiet, matte gold wings and the faceted stones creates a piece that is both restrained and luminous. A design sensibility associated with mid-century American makers like DeNicola and Lisner — refined naturalism at its best.
