Early 20th Century Thomas L Mott Sterling Silver Butterfly Wing Necklace

This early 20th century sterling silver blue morpho butterfly wing pendant was created by Thomas L Mott, the silversmith that popularized butterfly wing jewelry. The iridescent blue is so vibrant it’s practically glowing! The wing rests under a domed crystal framed by a delicate silver border, while a tri-petalled flower on the bail provides a soft nod to nature. After over a hundred years, this necklace is still perfectly magical.
