Vintage Juliana White Milk Glass Rhinestone Butterfly Figural Brooch IIJJ#8535
A wonderful vintage Juliana butterfly figural brooch in an especially striking all-white milk glass colorway.
The butterfly is set with white milk glass cabochons in several different shapes, including the large pear-shaped body stone, elongated marquise-style stones and round cabochons. The open upper wings feature distinctive figure-8 construction, an important Juliana construction detail that is especially easy to see from the reverse.
The setting has a warm antiqued gold-tone finish rather than a bright polished gold color. This softer aged finish beautifully complements the opaque white milk glass stones and gives the butterfly wonderful vintage character.
Identified in the Is It Juliana Jewelry database as IIJJ#8535.
Measurements: Approximately 2.4 x 2 inches.
A beautiful and unusual Juliana figural for a collector of butterflies, milk glass jewelry or distinctive DeLizza & Elster designs.
Condition:
Very good vintage condition. The milk glass stones present beautifully and the pin mechanism is intact. The metal has an antiqued gold-tone appearance rather than a bright gold finish.
