Van Cleef & Arpels Butterfly Brooch 18k Gold Wood Diamond

A sought-after Van Cleef & Arpels butterfly brooch, made of 18k gold and wood, featuring diamonds.
The butterfly’s wings are made from carved dark and light wood panels, creating a natural contrast that makes this VCA butterfly design immediately recognizable. Each wing is framed with the brand’s signature beaded gold border. At the center sits a marquise-shaped gold body set with small round diamonds. The diamonds add brightness while keeping the focus on the textured wings. The use of wood jewelry in a high-end design like this gives the brooch a warm, tactile feel.

This distinctive butterfly brooch by Van Cleef & Arpels highlights the designer’s well-known nature motifs with an unusual mix of materials.

The brooch measures 2 1/8” x by 1 ½” and weighs 23.9 grams.
