[PANETTA Silver Butterfly with Berry-Toned Curved Bracelet] Vintage American Antique Costume Jewelry

[PANETTA Silver Butterfly with Berry-Toned Curved Bracelet] Although unmarked, we are confident this is a Panetta creation. The shop owner has encountered matching earrings and necklaces of this design in antique markets. The metal used is rhodium plating, a precious metal even more valuable than gold (first used in the jewelry industry after WWII). Panetta was a designer known for replicating pieces from luxury jewelers like Cartier, Tiffany, and Van Cleef & Arpels. Their creations meet the standards of realistic fine jewelry, utilizing gold, rhodium, and silver plating, sterling silver bases, combined with hand-set, high-quality rhinestones and faux gemstones. Any piece not meeting their standard of authenticity was redesigned and remade. Due to Panetta's original commitment to quality, limited production, and exceptional craftsmanship, Panetta jewelry continues to hold significant collector value today. The overall exquisite detail makes these pieces highly coveted by collectors.
