A little Scandinavian artistry with wings. This vintage David Andersen butterfly brooch is beautifully detailed, with translucent enamel in warm amber, brown, cream and blue tones that catch the light across its wings.
The Monarch is one of David Andersen’s most intricate designs, and this piece makes a lovely statement pinned to a coat, scarf or favourite jacket. The reverse is marked DAVID-ANDERSEN, NORWAY, STERLING 925S, identifying its Norwegian maker and sterling silver base. Its warm gold tone appears to be a gold wash over sterling silver.
We love the way this butterfly feels both delicate and distinctive—a wearable piece of Norwegian design with plenty of personality.
