A stunning silver ring set with the vibrant blue wing from the blue morpho butterfly encased in glass.
 
This ring is a really beautiful example and the perfect piece to add to a collection.
 
This type of jewellery became popular in the 1920/30s, the wings of the blue morpho butterfly, originating in South America are delicate and all have a unique pattern making this type of jewellery highly collectable to those special pieces that are still that unusual vibrant blue colour today. There are two main types plain, such as in this ring and ones that have a reverse painting on the glass cabochon. Such scenes include ladies in dress, desert scenes, beach scenes, birds and animals and Dutch scenes to name a few. Butterfly wing jewellery was made into rings, charms, brooches, bracelets, earrings and pendants often set into silver.
