Vintage 1960s–70s gold-tone butterfly brooch featuring openwork wings and a large oval center cabochon filled with irregular pale-to-olive green stone chips. The chip-filled center gives the brooch a textured, organic look characteristic of mid-century and 1970s costume jewelry.
Measurements: 1.5" x 1.5"
The green chips have the appearance of jade, which was popular in this style of vintage jewelry, but they have not been tested. They are described as green stone chips, possibly jade.
Features an older-style long pin stem and textured cast-metal reverse. No maker's mark found.
Good vintage condition with age-related wear and patina to the gold-tone finish. Please review photos for condition.
