Early 20th century plique-a-jour enamel butterfly brooch. An unusual one, the colourful plique panels have a white backing, possibly to enhance the colours to the front, but still rather transluscent.
Cultured pearl I just stuck on with some white tack until I find something better for a more permanent solution.
There is a maker's mark of JD within a partial circle surround, the circle has a star to the top. This is extremely annoying as I KNOW I know this maker but for the life of me I cannot think what it is.
Help is appreciated.
I love the butterfly will have to get a post of my latest & see if you can give me some idea of the age just not sure if I have a photo
no problem Zowie, let me see if I can help
Another nice find Gems!

Yay! Fantastic, thank you so much Kyratango, that's great news. :D
You're welcome 'Gems, thanks to the Internet above all!
I'll go through my pictures & see if I have one for my butterfly & post it not sure if I have taken one as I haven't taken any in such a long time I do need to do some work on my site but as everything I do Norton tells me I'm on that site to much it gives me the pips as you must do as they say so they think. Will get off my butt soon
I just L O V E this!!
oh yes, Norton is annoying, I'd love to see your butterfly, Zowie
I have taken a few more shots of different ones I have but for some reason today of all days I have been trying for ages to put some new things on my site but my pictures will not open up once they have run through. I'll keep try love I just finished buying a 925 silver one no other markings were on it. Also sorry for taking so long in getting back.
Stunning and well done Myra...
