Monet Gold-Tone Butterfly Brooch | Sculptural Wirework Wings | Vintage Brooch

A beautifully crafted Monet butterfly brooch that reads as wearable sculpture. Rendered in luminous gold tone, this piece features finely ribbed wirework wings that fan outward with remarkable symmetry and precision. The openwork construction allows light to pass through the wings, creating depth and visual softness while maintaining a strong, architectural presence.
Unlike articulated designs, this brooch is intentionally solid and still, giving it a refined, composed elegance. The sculpted body anchors the form, while the radiating wings evoke flight through line and texture rather than movement—an approach that feels timeless and elevated.
This is a classic example of Monet’s design language: polished, expressive, and impeccably balanced.

Pin this brooch to the lapel of a tailored jacket, a wool coat, or the shoulder of a silk blouse. It pairs beautifully with minimalist wardrobes and adds a subtle statement to neutral palettes—cream, camel, black, or charcoal.
