AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Let yourself be enchanted by this beautifully colored Scandinavian butterfly brooch, crafted in enamel on brass and made between the 1950s and 1970s. A atmospheric and cheerful design object in which the finesse of traditional Norwegian enameling is beautifully brought to life.
The brooch displays a stunning palette of turquoise, cobalt blue, deep red, and gold tones, with characteristic 'peacock butterfly' eye spots on the wings. The vibrant guilloché enamel gives the surface a brilliant depth, while the elegantly curved antennas lend the piece a refined, handcrafted appearance.
This type of jewelry was produced in Scandinavia with great craftsmanship as an accessible alternative to the well-known silver email brooches from Norway. A charming vintage piece that immediately draws attention on a blazer, dress, or scarf — but also beautifully serves as a collector's item in a Scandinavian jewelry collection.

Seller's Story
I have a passion for vintage design, and my objects mainly come from Scandinavia. I seek out unique gems that are then offered to new owners through this platform. I ensure that the objects are very well packaged so they can arrive safely. I hope that, through my circular mission of sustainability, these beautiful objects can be given a second life, serving as a good example for many others.
