[Art Deco period. British Morpho Sterling Silver Drop Necklace] Vintage Antique Jewelry

[Art Deco period. British Morpho sterling silver drop-shaped necklace]

In the 1920s and 1930s, British jewelry based on the delicate wings of the Morpho tropical butterfly (usually blue) was quite popular. Made of sterling silver, the special butterfly wings came from dead butterflies in South America.
Each piece of butterfly wing jewelry is unique. Its wings have shiny and dense scales. The structure of the scales will produce a charming azure color due to refraction and reflection depending on the angle of light exposure.
📌Do not soak butterfly wing jewelry in water or rinse it
