Blue Enamel Butterfly Brooch, Lavender Crackle Stone Crystals 6,8cm

Blue enamel butterfly brooch with lavender crackle stone and crystal accents

This figural brooch reads as a butterfly at first glance, with a wider scarab-like body that gives it more weight than a flat butterfly silhouette. The upper wings are framed in royal-blue enamel with three faceted blue crystals each, the lower wings are in pearl-white enamel with smaller blue navette stones, and the body is a single oval cabochon in lavender purple with a natural crackle pattern. A round blue crystal sits at the join between body and wings, and two slim gold-tone antennae complete the silhouette. The fastening is a hidden two-disc magnet, so the brooch holds on a wool coat or a silk blouse without leaving a hole.

• Wings: royal-blue + pearl-white enamel, six faceted blue crystals total
• Body: oval lavender cabochon with crackle pattern
• Accents: round blue crystal between wings, slim gold-tone antennae
• Metal: yellow gold-tone
• Fastening: hidden magnet, two-disc system, no pin and no holes

Why the body matters as much as the wings

Standard butterfly brooches stay flat: thin wings, a thin body, a lot of negative space. This piece lifts the body forward with an oval cabochon that gives the brooch its weight and the lavender colour story, while the wings stay flat and graphic. The result reads as a fashion-insect brooch, somewhere between a butterfly and a stylised scarab, with enough substance to sit on a lapel without disappearing into the fabric. The magnetic fastening matters more than usual here because the body is bulky enough that a traditional pin would pull on the fabric over time. Browse our wider no-pin magnetic brooches for the same fastening on other designs.

Where the blue insect lands in the outfit

On a black or navy wool coat, the royal-blue enamel reads as a tonal accent and the lavender body pulls the eye in. On a denim jacket it picks up the blue-on-blue mood without going monotone. On a silk scarf knot the gold-tone metal warms the cool blues and the antennae catch the light. Pair it with smaller pieces from our butterfly brooch collection to build a small lapel scene.

Materials, sizing and care

Body in gold-tone metal with baked enamel on the wings and a single lavender cabochon for the body. The blue crystals are mounted in claw settings rather than glued. Two-piece set: the decorative brooch and a small openwork magnetic disc placed behind the fabric. Wipe the front with a dry microfibre cloth, store flat, keep perfume sprays and pool water off the enamel and the cabochon.
