Description

This vintage signed Weiss butterfly brooch is a radiant example of mid-century costume jewelry, featuring a symphony of blue and green crystal rhinestones set in a silver-tone metal frame. The wings are adorned with floral-like clusters, each accented by metal stamen details that add depth and dimension to the design. At the center of the butterfly’s body is a marquise-cut deep blue rhinestone, flanked by smaller round stones that shimmer with every movement. The brooch measures approximately 1.5 inches wide and closes securely with a locking C clasp, typical of Weiss’s mid-century construction. The back is clearly stamped “WEISS”, confirming its authenticity. Weiss was known for using high-quality Austrian rhinestones, and this piece exemplifies the brand’s commitment to brilliance and craftsmanship. Historical Notes – Weiss Jewelry & Butterfly Motifs Founded by Albert Weiss in 1942, the Weiss Company quickly became a leader in American costume jewelry, producing pieces that rivaled the quality of fine jewelry. Weiss was especially known for floral and figural brooches, often using Swarovski rhinestones and japanned or silver-tone settings to create dramatic contrast. Butterfly motifs were popular in the 1950s and 1960s, symbolizing transformation, freedom, and femininity. Weiss’s butterfly brooches often featured layered rhinestone clusters, dimensional wings, and intricate metalwork, making them favorites among collectors today.

  3. Item arrived as described. Really pretty item and a good price for a vintage piece. Securely packed in bubble wrap and a cardboard box, fortunately. (The postal carrier literally threw the box down at my door.) So glad they weren't broken!
