I received this wonderful Butterfly brooch from France as a gift from a CW member . It is marked sterling and made in England ,but I am not sure what wings are actually made of . It is quite heavy and gorgeous . CW has created so many friendships and that is what keeps us together all these years .

Maybe kyratango will know what wings are made of <wink-hint>
Superb brooch!!!
kyratango is a jewel all in herself. :)
This is gorgeous! Victorian period, I believe. The tube hinge looks like it's hand made. The wings are made from the actual butterfly wings of the Morpho butterfly.
Thank you Efsgirl :-)
Thank you martika I appreciate you stopping :-)
Yes Katherine I agree kryatango is a priceless GEM !
nutsabotas6, I agree it was special surprise by her and CW has some awesome people and life long friendships are made :-)
A beautiful butterfly for your collection Dear Mani, you deserve this little treasure !
Lovely!!! and looks like real butterfly wings too!
TLM (Thomas L Mott) possibly the maker......
A lovely, lovely brooch!
A beautiful morpho brooch Mani, well deserved, from one good egg to another!
What a BEAUTY!!!!
Love the color.
Thank you sklo42 much appreciated :-)
Many Thanks racer4 , it was a wonderful gift :-)
Thank you jscott ,I appreciate you stopping and I agree it is a beauty :-)
As an angel, you needed another wings pair ;-)
I think this one is rather a kind of blue foil used to look like morpho wings, at least no animal was harmed to make the brooch.
I'm so happy you are pleased with your new flutterby, dear Mani!
You are the queen gem of kindness, Mani :-D
Hi Sis, you deserve such a beautiful Flutterby brooch, enjoy!
Hi Bro ! hope all is going ok with you and will write soon . xo
Hey kyra - I hope you are right about that - I hate the idea of animals being destroyed for "beauty".
Hi Efsgirl ,kyratango sent me the brooch so she has seen it in person :-) So I think no butterfly was harmed to make it even though it really was made to look like a real wing .
A lovely, lovely brooch. Mani, was it a surprise?
Gillian I was very grateful for the gift but she had given me a hint something was coming :-)
Happy 4th of july dear Mani!
XOXO
Thank you rucklczglass and kyratango, I don't imagine you celebrate the 4th so I will wish you both a blessed day :-)
Happy 4th of July, Sis!
Enjoy the fireworks!
Hi Bro . No fireworks for me but what a relief that our weather is cool for July and nice for outside activities like the parade today . Say Hi to Sherry and hugs to you both xo
Will do...xoxo

Many thanks Trey !
Lovely morpho butterflywings brooch. You can search on CW for morpho butterflywings and you will see some more jewelry. I have posted some, but not as nice as yours. Lovely!
Be careful with sunlight and damp, the wings are delicate.
Thank you Elisabethan they butterfly was a gift from kyratango and I love it . It is in a jewelry box safe from sun :-) So nice you stopped and I will look at yours now although I may have seen them and put a love to them since I love flutterby's
Hi bratjdd so nice to see you ! xo
Efesgirl knows her jewellery defo bufferfly wing, I own some rings and a bracelet and a brooch, some are even painted onto.
What a beautiful gift!!
Many thanks courtenayantiques, it certainly was a beautiful gift . Glad you stopped :-)
Hi dear Mani! A new (French!) member has posted some nice old bears and Steiff!
Your help is needed on old bears there:
Who is my bear? | Collectors Weekly
http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/205826-who-is-my-bear
Hoping you're doing well, XOXO.
Good Morning kyratango, I will look and try to help . Bears are very hard to ID makers as there were so many and it might just be a stitch that is clue. Most often you see attributed to so and so because without tags it is hard to be sure :-( Hope all is well with you too xoxo
Manikin the brooch is beautiful and like Efesgirl said it's real morpho butterflywings that gives it the wonderful color.
Thank you Elisabethan It was a wonderful gift and I love it too :-)
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and your family
Hi Mani...thank you a very Merry Christmas to you too!...I have sent him Christmas wishes but not heard back yet!...keeping my fingers crossed it's just that he doesn't have the internet, I know he was having problems with it..
Thanks inky let me know if you hear ok :-)
Will do...xoxo
Just heard..still with us..:-))
Thanks inky xoxo
Lovely brooch! And definitely very old, judging by the clasp. The colour of the wings is glorious, and the lines are so elegant. Delightful.
Thank you rhineisfine, for stopping and leaving such a nice comment !
Thank you vcal ! much appreciated
