Buyer's Premium:

A vintage silver cocktail ring featuring a rectangular central panel. The panel contains an iridescent blue Morpho butterfly wing set beneath a clear glass cover. The wing is further decorated with hand-painted polychrome details in red, yellow, and green, depicting a stylized landscape or floral motif. The central panel is bezel-set within a decorative border featuring a milled or notched pattern, mounted on a simple, rounded wire-work shank. Stamped marks are visible to the inner shank but are not clearly legible in the provided images to allow for a definitive maker attribution. This style of jewellery gained significant popularity in the United Kingdom following the British Empire Exhibition of 1924.
