This magnificent original 1980s diamanté skeleton design pin brooch is by celebrated British costume jewellery designers Butler & Wilson (see notes) and is in impeccable vintage condition. Over 15 cm long, it is a very sizeable statement piece. The design is configured en tremblant with assorted prong set crystal diamanté gemstones cuts in varying sizes onto a rhodium plated frame. The signature is positioned on the reverse of the brooch in the centre of the rib cage. An incredibly collectable piece from a truly iconic brand. This is the largest size the company ever made and we picture it here with the next size down. Both pieces are for sale in their original BLACK boxes and came from a long time collector.
MEASUREMENTS Length - 6 in (15.5 cm) Width - 1.5 in (4 cm) Depth - 0.5 in (1 cm)
NOTES ON DESIGNER: Nicky Wilson and Simon Butler founded Butler & Wilson in 1969, opening a now famous shop on the Fulham Road taking inspiration from ornate Art Deco jewellery to create bold, whimsical interpretations of insects, animals and fantasy creatures synonymous with the lavish use of diamanté and crystal embellishment. A favourite of Diana, Princess of Wales, other famous clients include Joan Collins, Sharon Stone and Kate Moss.
