Sterling Silver & Paua Shell Butterfly Pin

In the traditional silversmithing village of Celuk - on the island of Bali - jewelry is exquisitely handcrafted - using unique and painstakingly detailed techniques - which are passed down through families for generations. Paradiso has worked closely for two decades with small families in this village. As each piece is entirely hand-fabricated - no two are exactly identical; each is an individual work of art. Handcrafted in sterling silver - this exquisite butterfly brooch is inlaid with lustrous paua shell - with deep swirls of blue and green. Each glistening wing is framed with tiny individual beads of sterling. Traditional techniques of repousse - wirework and granulation all contribute to a stunning piece. The final touches are two eyes - carefully hand-formed in 22 karat gold - and a locking safety clasp. (2'' x 1.5'') Choose a Native Leaf Jewelry Bag to make your gift extra special.
