18 Karat Gold Coral Earrings with Diamond Butterflys

Description

The Oxford English Dictionary derives the word straightforwardly from Old English butorflēoge, butter-fly; similar names in Old Dutch and Old High German indicate that the name is ancient. One possible source of the name is the bright yellow male of the common brimstone butterfly (Gonepteryx rhamni). Another is that butterflies were on the wing in meadows during the spring and summer butter season while the grass was growing.

These earrings are hand made in Torre del Greco, Italy by de Simone Fratelli, experts in coral jewellery since 1855. The angel skin coral encircles a small diamond butterfly.
