A rare and romantic find, this antique butterfly wing bracelet captures the glamour of mid century travel and the artistry of a lost jewellery craft. Set in sterling silver, this souvenir bracelet features six rectangular panels, each reverse painted with an idyllic tropical beach scene marked ‘Nassau’. Behind each scene is real Morpho butterfly wings, shimmering in vibrant natural blues and purples that glow and shift with the light.

The Morpho butterfly is native to Central and South America and famous for its iridescent, metallic hues. Butterfly wing jewellery was created by placing these naturally radiant wings behind hand painted or printed glass panels. The result was a glowing, almost holographic effect that transformed simple souvenirs into little wearable works of art.

The antique bracelet is marked ‘ENGLAND STERLING’ and bears a design registration number, indicating it was made in the UK- likely  for export as part of the flourishing Caribbean souvenir travel and exotic cruises.
