This striking Art Deco brooch features genuine morpho butterfly wing beneath glass, displaying the vivid blue-green iridescence that makes these pieces so collectible. The round composition showcases a tropical island scene with palm trees, a glowing sun, and water reflections, all enhanced by the natural shimmer of the butterfly wing. Crafted using the traditional reverse-painted technique, the scenic design is applied to the underside of the glass dome, with the morpho wing layered behind it. This creates a luminous depth and shifting color effect that cannot be replicated with modern materials. Dating to the 1920s–1930s, butterfly wing jewelry reflects the Art Deco era’s fascination with exotic destinations and finely detailed craftsmanship. These pieces were widely produced for export, particularly in England, and remain highly sought after today for their artistry and natural beauty.
