Details
Glowing with captivating blue guilloché enamel, this rare and enchanting mid-century Danish butterfly necklace is a true vintage masterpiece. Masterfully crafted and stamped by Volmer Bahner, one of Denmark’s celebrated pioneers of mid-century enamel jewellery, this exceptional piece showcases the breath-taking artistry of vitreous enamelling.
Crafted in sterling silver, each articulated link forms a delicate butterfly, its wings brought to life with intricate, lifelike texturing beneath translucent guilloché enamel. As light passes through the enamel, it dances across the textured surface, creating a mesmerising silvery-blue glow that beautifully evokes the natural brilliance and iridescence of butterfly wings.
Measuring 15.5 inches in length, this collectable vintage choker necklace is entirely original apart from a replacement silver clasp. Designed to rest elegantly along the collarbone, it is a particularly enchanting example of Danish mid-century jewellery and an exquisite piece of wearable art.
