Blue Enamel Butterfly Drop Earrings In Silver
A polished silver ball sits at the top of these butterfly drop earrings, and a butterfly hangs beneath it on a short link. The wings are filled with a deep cobalt enamel and outlined in silver, with a raised ridge running down the body. Nothing else is added to the design.

Key Features
- Wings are filled edge to edge with solid blue enamel rather than being set with stones.
- A silver outline runs around each wing, which keeps the colour contained and the shape crisp.
- The ball at the top acts as the stud, so the butterfly swings freely below the ear.
- Made in 925 sterling silver with the enamel fired into recessed sections of the wing.
- A raised body ridge separates the two wings and gives the whole butterfly some depth.
Styling Suggestions
Strong colour on a small shape is easy to wear, which makes these an everyday pair rather than an occasion one. They sit well with white, denim and pale cotton. Keep the neck bare or wear a fine chain so the blue stays the only colour.
FAQs
What is enamel?
Enamel is powdered glass fused onto metal with heat, which sets into a hard coloured surface. It has been used in jewellery for centuries and gives a flat, saturated colour that no faceted stone can produce, since stones reflect light rather than hold it.
Will the enamel chip?
Enamel is hard but can chip under a sharp knock against a hard surface. Taking the pair off before sport, housework and sleep avoids most of that risk, and keeping them in a pouch rather than loose in a bag protects the colour.
Are these comfortable for all day wear?
They are light and the drop is short, so there is very little pull on the ear. Most people can wear them from morning to evening without noticing. The ball top also spreads the contact rather than concentrating it at one point.
How do I clean enamel jewellery?
Wipe them with a soft dry cloth after wearing. Avoid silver dips and abrasive polishes entirely, since both are made to strip surfaces and will dull the enamel. If they need more, use a barely damp cloth and dry them immediately.
