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.

Frequently asked questions
Is the body a real stone or an imitation?
The body is a resin or glass cabochon with a crackle finish that mimics a natural lavender quartz. It is designed for everyday wear without the fragility or cost of a real stone.
Will the magnet hold the weight of the body cabochon?
Yes. The two rare-earth discs are sized specifically for figural brooches with a cabochon body, so the piece stays in place even on thinner blouses or knit jumpers.
Does it work as a gift?
Yes. The brooch ships in a jewellery pouch and the magnetic fastening fits any wardrobe, so it makes a safe gift for friends, mothers or anyone who likes nature-inspired accessories.
