Add a touch of heritage charm to your collection with this certified vintage Chinese export brooch. Exquisitely crafted in detailed silver filigree, the piece features four vivid enamel butterflies encircling a large oval-cut natural amethyst at its center. Verified by the Gem and Jewelry Institute of Thailand (GIT), the gemstone is a natural quartz variety (amethyst) with no indication of clarity enhancement, boasting a rich purple hue and excellent brilliance.
This versatile design offers triple functionality – it can be worn as a brooch, suspended as a pendant through the concealed loop, or styled as a traditional obi clip. A hallmark stamped "SILVER" on the back is characteristic of early to mid-20th century Chinese export silverwork.
