Estate 18K White Gold 2.52CTW Pink Sapphire & Diamond Butterfly Brooch

This estate 18kt white gold butterfly brooch features 106 round vivid pink sapphires totaling approximately 2.12 carats and 31 round diamonds totaling approximately 0.40 carat. Dating to the 1990s, the four domed wings are pavé set with bright pink sapphires against blackened accents and crossed by shimmering diagonal stripes of diamonds. Bezel-set diamonds sparkle at the head and the tips of the curling antennae, and more diamonds trace the slender body. The diamonds are G-H in color and SI in clarity. The brooch measures approximately 1 1/8 inches wide by 13/16 inch tall, weighs 5.31 grams, and fastens with a hinged pin stem and safety catch.

Pink sapphire is a variety of corundum, the same mineral as ruby and blue sapphire, and ranks a 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, second only to diamond. Its vivid color and lasting durability make it a favorite for detailed pavé work like this. As a birthstone for September, sapphire is linked with wisdom and loyalty, while the butterfly has long symbolized transformation, joy, and new beginnings, making this brooch a meaningful gift for a milestone moment.
