      Wonderful compliments Broochman thanks so much, I was very lucky to find this beautiful butterfly and yes Regency did make very stylish ones, I esp love the little square feelers over the head

      Lol Thomas, yes it's a free flying butterfly, and unlike the real ones it will live past one day! Many thanks for your great words & love that Elton song

      Thank you Maureen, I agree the colors are a great combo, and they look even better under darker lights (but won't photograph as well in my house lol), if you want to see what I mean punch Gems of Costume Jewelry in the CW search box, someone posted pages from the book and my butterfly is there, enjoy

      Thanks MrsT it's true, just a couple color shades different are very compatible in this piece, appreciate your wonderful compliments

      Phil it's one of the prettiest butterfly brooches I own but I always appreciate seeing others posted here, how sad is it that the real ones are only around for a day, so most of these beauties are invented color combos :( Great words as always thanks so much

      This is such a beautiful butterfly. I really love the colour. Though I mostly have Sherman pieces, I do think the Regency butterflies are among the most attractive of any.

      Thank you Dawn for your super praise for this Regency butterfly, I think it is probably my favorite butterfly brooch both for design & the teal-blue coloring - being born in December one of that month's birthstones is blue zircon (teal) which may be why I like it :) I love Regency gems but find they stuck to their popular shapes so it's a little hard to find different types that I like, but I'm always looking!

      What a gorgeous, gorgeous, brilliant cyan butterfly!
      Eye-popping is the word for sure.
      And such an elegantly-designed vintage piece, too. Everything about it is lovely.
      Congratulations on such an exceptional piece!

      Thank you so much rhineisfine for your beautiful compliments & love for this Regency butterfly, this is probably my absolute fave butterfly in my collection & was a very lucky find...seeing it in a book later was really exciting too. I adore those gorgeous blue-green rhinestones which sparkle at every turn.
