Trifari – Butterfly Brooch with Enamel

This vintage Trifari brooch takes the form of an elegant butterfly, built up from softly rounded wing shapes in black and cream enamel, framed by a gold-tone contour. The subtle marbling in the enamel adds depth and movement, while the symmetrical form creates a strong, graphic look.

In the 1960s, Trifari experimented freely with colour contrasts and abstract natural forms. The butterfly symbolised elegance and transformation, and was often used as a decorative statement piece. This design strikes the perfect balance between playful and chic — quintessentially Trifari.
